This is a simple version.  If you listen to the bass line you’ll hear   that there are some inversions. But the way that I have it written   here sounds just fine.   The Old Rugged Cross Intro      Verse 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown. Verse 2 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away Where His glory forever I’ll share. Chorus 2 And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown. I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown.
