'30 Pieces of Silver' by Hank Williams - Guitar Tutorial

             G                    C                         G  
Tis a sad but true story  from the bible it came 
                     D7                         G  
And it tells us how Judas sold the Savior in shame 
 G7                    C                           G  
He planned with the council of high priest that day 
              D7                               G  
30 pieces of silver was the price they would pay 
  
 G7             C                      G  
30 pieces of silver 30 shackles of shame 
                        D7                          G  
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain 
 G7                C                     G  
Betrayed and forsaken unloved and unclaimed  
               D7                             G  
In anger they pierced him but he died not in vain 
  
 G7                      C                     G  
T'was on there on the hillside the multitude came  
                    D7                     G  
And found our dear Savior then took him away 
 G7                      C                               G  
They bruised and they mocked him  thorns was crowned around 
his head 
                    D7                                  G  
And his garment of purple  showed the blood stains of red 
  
 G7               C                                   G  
Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun  
              D7                     G  
Judas begged mercy for what he had done  
 G7                 C                                 G  
He gave back the silver  for his heart filled with strife 
                   D7                         G  
Then there in the mountain he took his own life  
  
 G7             C                      G  
30 pieces of silver  30 shackles of shame 
                        D7                         G  
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain
