HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (Judas)

REm FA
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me

REm SIbYou have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
RE/LA LA+ LA SIb REm7And they'll hurt you when they find their wrong

I remember when this whole thing began
REm SOLNo talk of God then we called you a man
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died

FAGets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

This post includes:
"I Don't Know How To Love Him"
"The Last Supper"
"I Only Want To Say (Gethsemane)"
and
"King Herod's Song"
These are sketchy and a little "thrown-together" because I don't have the
time to be more verbose... perhaps in the future... The songs that I
included are in the order that they appear in the show. All Jesus Christ
Superstar Music and Lyrics are by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. (C) 1970
by Leeds Music Limited.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM (Mary Magdalene)
Note: The A9 in the last measure of each verse is actually an "A9sus (no
G)" Try fitting THAT over the word "else". Ah, limitations, limitations.
The chord is actually very easy to play if you use some untraditional
fingering/positioning across the progression of that line of the verse.

I ONLY WANT TO SAY (GETHSEMANE) (Jesus)
(IMHO this is probably THE most powerful piece in the entire show. A true
perfect blend of Lloyd-Webber and Rice at their finest! This is a
difficult tune to put into ASCII, mainly because the bulk of the piece is
arranged orchestral, and even on piano it's hard to capture the magic of
this work... here goes nothing... ad lib where deemed appropriate)
