G Here's a G7 sad, but true C story - from the bible it G came
Was a chosen dis-{D} ciple - tho' I mention no G name
He plan-{G7} ed with the C counsel - a pact reached that G day
Thirty Pieces Of D Silver - was the price they would G pay.
CHORUS
G Thirty G7 Pieces Of C Silver - thirty shekels of G shame
Was the price paid for D Jesus - on the cross He was G slain
Betray-{G7} ed and for-{C} saken - unloved and un-{G} claimed
In anger they D pierced Him - but He died not in G vain.
While there on the hilllside - the multitudes came
And found our dear Saviour - then they took Him away
They smote Him and mocked Him - for the crown 'round His head
And His rainment of purple - showed the blood stains of red.
CHORUS
Far off in the mountains - with face toward the sun
Judas begged mercy - for what he had done
He gave back the silver - for his heart filled with strife
And there in the mountains - he took his own life.
CHORUS
