_ _ [E] _ _ You know, _ _ sometimes I don't go according to the program that we planned for the dismay of the band,
_ but I sometimes have to do what I feel like doing.
When I came out of intensive care,
I found myself, give me a key of E Earl,
_ found myself singing this song, and I had my eyes closed,
and it reminded me of a time that I did this song for a person who was afflicted, and
to do this song with some of the language of the deaf adds another element to it,
and I thought of this song as I was singing it to myself with my eyes closed that first day out of intensive care.
_ On a hill _ far away
[Gbm] _
[A] Stood an old rugged cross, _
[B] the emblem [E] _ [B] of suffering and shame,
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
And I love that old cross
[Ab] _ [A] Where the dearest and best
_ For a [B] world of lost sinners [E] was slain
[A] _ _ _
[Eb] _ So [B] I'll cherish _ the old rugged [E] cross _ _
[E] _ _ Till [A] my _ trophies at last [Abm] I [E] lay down _ _
_ _ I will cling to the old _ rugged [A] cross _ _
[A] _ _ _ And [E] exchange it [B] someday _ _ for a crown
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
