INTRO:
D B B Em7  A7  D  D
 
 
VERSE:
              D    Em7  D            A  A7  D
There was no crown for Him of silver or of gold
              Em    A7          D  G D
There was no diadem for Him to hold.
     D            Em   D
But blood adorned His brow,
               A         D
And proud its stains He bore,
     Bm      Em     A7                D   D G         D
And sinners gave to Him the crown He wore. (yes we did)
 
 
CHORUS:
D         G                D
A rugged cross became His throne
            Em Em7 A7                D
His kingdom was      in hearts all alone (oh yes)
    Em    D   G                                              D
He wrote His love (that precious, precious love) in crimson red (crimson red)
              Em7   A7      D      G D
And wore the thorns   upon His head.
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL:

D Em D G    D             Em Em7 A7  D G D  D
             (crimson red)
 
 
VERSE:
D
No purple robe He wore,
       A                  D
Those bleeding wounds to hide
     Em7                       A7                    D        D
But stripes, stripes upon His back He wore that day with pride.
 
              D                         A                           D
And from the wounds there flowed a crimson, cleansing, a cleansing stream
            Em7           A7           D         G         D
That was a cover (oh yes) for the soul so unclean  yes it was
 
 
CHORUS:
D         G                                 D
A rugged cross (a rugged cross) became His throne (ooh, ooh)
            Em Em7 A7                D
His kingdom was      in hearts all alone (in hearts alone) (yes it was)
    Em    D   G                                        D
He wrote His love (that precious love) in the crimson red (crimson red)
              Em7   A7      D      G D
And wore the thorns   upon His head.
 
 
CHORUS:
  D   Em D   G
(The rugged cross) A rugged cross
             D

(His kingdom was) His kingdom was
             D
(In hearts alone) In the hearts alone
 
    Em    D   G
He wrote His love (Oh, yes He did - He wrote His love)
                D    A       D
In the crimson red (crimson red)
              Em   Em7 A7
And wore the thorns
      D          G       D
Upon His head (upon His head)

N.C.      D   G
Upon His head
             G                D
He wore the thorns (upon His head) He wore the thorns
 
Up on His head
