HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (Judas)
[4/4, Chords played over the Eb-Cm-Dm-Eb-Cm progression/bass riff]
REm FA SOL
My mind is clearer now at last all to well
FA SOL REm
I can see where we all soon will be
REm FA SOL
If you strip away the myth from the man
FA SOL REm
You will see where we all soon will be
REm MIm
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
FA SOL REm
You really do believe this talk of God is true
REm MIm
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
FA SOL REm
You've begun to matter more than the things you say
REm FA
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
REm SOL
All I ask is that you listen to me
SIb DO FA LA
And remember I've been your right-hand man all along
REm SIb
You have set them all on fire
FA
They think they've found the new Messiah
RE/LA LA+ LA SIb REm7
And they'll hurt you when they find their wrong
REm FA
I remember when this whole thing began
REm SOL
No talk of God then we called you a man
SIb DO FA LA
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
REm SIb
But ev'ry word you say today
FA
Gets twisted 'round some other way
RE/LA LA+ LA SIb REm7
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[in 7/8]
SIb FA SOLm REm
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
SOLm REm/LA LA REm
Like his father carving wood he'd have made good
SIb FA SOLm REm
Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
SOLm REm/LA LA REm
He'd have caused nobody harm -- no one alarm
back to 4/4]
REm FA
Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
REm SOL
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
SIb DO FA LA
We are occupied -- have you forgotten how put down we are?
REm SIb
I am frightened by the crowd
FA
For we are getting much too loud
REm/LA LA+ LA SIb REm7
And they'll crush us if we go too far
[back to 7/8, instrumental break repeating previous 7/8 bridge]
[back to 4/4]
REm FA
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
REm SOL
Please remember that I want us to live
SIb DO FA LA
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
REm SIb
All your followers are blind
FA
Too much heaven on their minds
REm/LA LA+ LA SIb
It was beautiful but now it's sour
REm SIbmaj7
Yes it's all gone sour...

PILATE'S DREAM (Pilate)
/
SIbm MIbm SOL#7
I dreamed I met a Galilean
SIbm DOb
A most amazing man
FA7 FA7+ FA# MIbm6
He had that look you very rarely find
FA7 SIbm
The haunting, hunted kind
SIbm MIbm SOL#7
I asked him to say what had happened
SIbm DOb
How it all began
FA7 FA7+ FA# MIbm6
I asked again, he never said a word
FA7 SIbm
As if he hadn't heard
SIb SIb7
And next the room was full
MIbm SOL#
of wild and angry men
SOL#7
they seemed to hate this man
Db (tacet)
they fell on him and then
F7 (tacet)
they disappeared again
SIbm MIbm SOL#7
Then I saw thousands of millions
SIbm DOb
crying for this man
FA7 FA# MIbm6
And then I heard them mentioning my name
FA7 SIbm
And leaving me the blame

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.
[in 4/4]
RE SOL RE SOL RE
I don't know how to love him
SOL SOL6 RE/LA LA
What to do, how to move him
RE/FA# LA RE
I've been changed, yes really changed
LA FA#m7 SIm FA#m7 SIm
In these past few days when I've seen myself
SOL RE/FA# MIm RE LA9
I seem like someone else
RE SOL RE SOL RE
I don't know how to take this
SOL SOL6 RE/LA LA
I don't see why he moves me

In ve - ry ma - ny ways

He's just one more
[PSEUDOBRIDGE]
SOL FA#7
Should I bring him down
SIm
Should I scream and shout
SIm/LA SOL
Should I speak of love
RE/LA
Let my feelings out?
DO SOL RE
I never thought I'd come to this
G D/F# Em A9 -> A
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
SOL SOL6 RE/LA LA
I should be in this position?

So calm, so cool, no lover's fool

SOL RE/FA# MIm7 RE
He scares me so

Yet if he said he loved me
SOL SOL6 RE LA
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
RE/FA# LA RE
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope

I'd turn my head, I'd back away

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)
