G
Tis a sad but true story
D
From the bible it came
A
And it tells us how Judas
D
Sold the Savior in shame
G
He planned with the council
D
Of high priest that day
A
Thirty pieces of silver
D
Was the price they would pay
G
Thirty pieces of silver
D
Thirty shackles of shame
A
Was the price paid for Jesus
D
On the cross he was slain
G
Betrayed and forsaken
D
Unloved and unclaimed
A
In anger they pierced him
D
But he died not in vein
G
Twas there on the hillside
D
The multitude came
A
And found our dear savior
D
Then took him away
G
They bruised and they mocked him
D
Thorns was crowned around his head
A
And his garment of purple
D
Showed the blood stains of red
G
Far off in the mountains
D
With his face towards the sun
A Judas begged mercy
D
For what he had done
G
He gave back the silver
D
For his heart filled with strife
A
Then there in the mountain
D
He took his own life
G
30 pieces of silver
D
30 shackles of shame
A Was the price paid for Jesus
D
On the cross he was slain
