*CAPO TWO*

     G                      C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
    D7                      G
The emblem of suffering and shame
                                    C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D7                        G
For a world of lost sinners was slain


Chorus:

         D               D7     G
And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
         C                      G
Until my trophies at last I lay down
                               C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
      G             D7        G
And exchange it someday for a crown

        G                             C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
    D7                         G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
                                         C
And they'll call me someday to my home far away
                 D7           G              
Where His glory forever I’ll share.


repeat full chorus once

                               C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
     G              D7        G
And exchange it someday for a crown.
