"The Old Rugged Cross" 
by Brad Paisley from the album "Part II" 
 
Intro:     
 
On a [A]hill far away stood an [D]old rugged cross  
The [E]emblem of suffering and [A]shame [E] 
And I [A]love that old cross where the [D]dearest and best  
For a [E]world of lost sinners was [A]slain  
 
Chorus  
And I'll [E]cherish the old rugged [A]cross 
until my [D]trophies at [E]last I lay [A]down  
I will cling to the old rugged [D]cross 
And [A]exchange it some [E]day for a [A]crown 
 
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 
 
Repeat chorus
