CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: A/PLAY: G 
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
