30 Pieces Of Silver

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
