-4   5   -5       5*   6   -5 
On a hill far a-way,  
-5   -5   6      -5*   -6*   6 
stood an old rugged cross.  
6  -6*     6  -5  5  -5      5  -4
The emblem of suffering and shame.  
-4    5    -5       5*  6  -5 
And I love that old cross,  
-5   -5   6      -5*   -6*   6 
where the dearest and best  
6  6  -6*     6  -5   9  -8  -7  7 
for a world of lost sinners was slain.  

Chorus 
-6*   7  -7     -7   -7   -7   7   -6*   7 
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,  
7  -6*  6      6    6   7   -6*   6   -5 
Till my trophies at last I lay down.  
-5   7   -8      -8  -8   -8   9   -8   6 
I will cling to the old rugged cross  
9   9   -8     -7  7  -5  -6*  -7   7
And exchange it some day for a crown
(Repeat)
(Repeat Last Line On Repeat)

O that old rugged cross,
So despised by the world.
Has a wondrous attract-ion for me;
For the dear Lamb of God
Left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
