*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 
         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.
