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
