Start Jamming...
On a hill [G] far away [C] stood an old [A]
rugged rock, [D] the emblem of suffering [G] and shame.
And I love [C] where the dearest [A]
land bears, [D] for a world of lost [G] sinners my name.
So [D] I'll cherish the old rugged, [G] old rugged, [C] till my soul he left, [Bm] last I [G] may have.
I will cling to the old [C] rugged rock, [Am]
[G] and exchange it [D]
someday for [G] a crown.
[D]
[G]
To the old rugged cross [C] I will [C] ever [A] be true, [D] its shame and reproach [G] gladly bear.
Till he calls me someday to [C] my home [A] far away, [D] where his glory forever [Dm] [G] I'll share.
So [D] I'll cherish the old [G] rugged, old rugged, [C] till my soul he left, [Am] last I [G] may have.
[D] I will cling to the old rugged, [C] and [Am]
[G] exchange it [D]
someday [G]
[C] [Am]
for [G] [D]
[G] a crown.
