30 Pieces of Silver
by Hank Williams [3/4 time]
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 Savoir 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 merci 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
