C                  F                        C
Tis a sad but true story  from the bible it came
                    G7                       C
And it tells us how Judas sold the Savior in shame
C7                  F                           C
He planned with the council of high priest that day
             G7                              C
30 pieces of silver was the price they would pay
 
C7           F                     C
30 pieces of silver 30 shackles of shame
                       G7                        C
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain
C7              F                   C
Betrayed and forsaken unloved and unclaimed 
              G7                             C
In anger they pierced him but he died not in vain
 
C7                    F                      C
T'was on there on the hillside the multitude came 
                   G7                   C
And found our dear Savior then took him away
C7                    F                                         C
They bruised and they mocked him  thorns was crowned around his head
                   G7                                 C
And his garment of purple  showed the blood stains of red
 
C7             F                                   C
Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun 
             G7                    C
Judas begged mercy for what he had done 
C7               F                                 C
He gave back the silver  for his heart filled with strife
                  G7                       C
Then there in the mountain he took his own life 
 
C7           F                      C
30 pieces of silver  30 shackles of shame
                       G7                        C
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain
