Overture
Heaven on Their Minds
Dm Dm F G
Judas: My mind is cleared now - at last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be
Dm F GIf you strip away the myth from the man
F G DmYou will see where we all soon will be
Jesus !
DmYou've started to believe
EmThe things they say of you
You really do believe
G DmThis talk of God is true
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more
Then the things you say
Dm F
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
Bb C FAnd remember - I've been your right hand man all along
DmYou have set them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
D/A A Bb DmAnd they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then - we called you a man
And beleive me - my admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you said today
Gets twisted round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they'll think you've lied
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm/ALike his ofther carving wood
A DmHe'd have made good!
Tables, chairs and oaken chests should have suited Jesue best
He'd have caused nobody's harm
No one alarm!
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then - we called you a man
And beleive me - my admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you said today
Gets twisted round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they'll think you've lied
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown ...
Listen Jesus to the warning I give,
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakened with ev'ry hour
All your followers are blind,
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's sour,
Dm Bbmaj7 Repeat & Fade
Yes it's all gone so sour ...
What's the Buzz
Bethany, Friday night
Apostles: What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Eb major!
What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Jesus: Why should you want to know ?
Don't you mind about the future,
Don't you try to think ahead
Save tomorrow for tomorrow,
Think about today instead
Apostles: What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Jesus: I could give you facts and figures -
I could give you plans and forecasts
Even tell you where I'm going -
Apostles: When do we ride into Jerusalem ?
Jesus: Why should you want to know ?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy ?
If you knew the path we're riding
You'd understand it less than I !
Apostles: What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Mary M. : Let me try to cool down your face a bit ...
Jesus: That feels nice, so nice ...
Mary that is good - while you prattle through your supper
Where and when and who and how
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now !
Apostles: What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Strange Thing Mystifying
G G7 C Cm
Judas: It seems to me a strange thing mystifying
G C Cm GThat a man like you can waste his time on women of her
kind !
Yes I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair is hardly in your line.
C D G
It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
They only need a small excuse to put us all away.
F C G
It's not that I object to her profession
F C F CBut she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
F C F GThey only need a small excuse to put us all away )
Jesus: Who are you to criticise her ?
Who are you to despise her ?
Leave her, Leave her, let her be now
Leave her, Leave her, she's with me now
If you slate is clean - then you can throw stones
If you slate is not - then leave leave her alone
I'm amazed that man like you can be so shallow,
thick and slow
There's not a man among you who knows or cares
if I come or go
All (save Judas): No you're wrong ! You're very wrong !
How can you say that ?
Jesus: Not one - not one of you !
Everything's alright

Mary M. : Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you ah, don't you know

Apostles' women: Ev'rything's alright yes ev'rything's alright
yes
Jesus: Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot ?
There will be poor always, pathetic'lly struggling -
Look at the good things you've got !
Think ! While you still have me
Move ! While you still see me
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone
Mary M. : Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoit you
Myrth for your hot forehead ah then you'll feel
Ev'rything's alright yes ev'rything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes

Then John was when John did his Baptism thing ?
Caiaphas: Fools ! You have no perception

We must crush him completely -
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die

Pilate's Dream
Pontius Pilate's house, Monday
Pilate: I dreamed I met a Galilean -
BbmA most amazing man
Cb F7 F7+ F#He had that look you very rarely find -
The haunting hunted kind
I ask him to say what had happened
How it all began
I asked again - he never said a word
As if he hadn't heard.
Bb Bb7 Ebm Ebm7
And next the room was full of wild and angry men
G# G#7They seemed to hate this man -
They fell on him and then
F7They disappeared again
Then I saw thousands of millions
Crying for this man .
And then I heard them mentioning my name
And leaving me the blame
The Temple
MoneyLenders and Merchants:
Bbm
Roll on up - for my price is down
Come on in - for the best in town
C#mTake your pick of the finest wine
BbmLay your bets on this bird of mine
Roll on up - for my price is down
Come on in - for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Name your price I got everything
BbmCome and buy it's all going fast
C#mBorrow each on the finest terms
Hurry how while stocks still last
Jesus: My temple should be a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Get out ! GET OUT !

Little left to do ...

Crowd: See my eyes I can hardly see
See me stand I can hardly work
I believe you can make me whole
See my tongue I can hardly talk
See my skin I'm a mess of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand
I believe you can make me well
See my purse I'm a poor man
Will you touch will you mend me Christ
Will you touch will you heal me Christ
Will you kiss you can cure me Christ
Won't you kiss won't you pay me Christ
Jesus: There's too many of you - don't push me
There's too little of me - don't, stop crowd me
Heal yourselves !
Everything's alright
Mary M. : Try not to get
worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you,

F#m7 Bm F#m7 BmIn this past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he woos me
He's a man he's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways ...
He's just one more
D G F#7 Bm
Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout
Bm/A G D/AShould I speak of love, let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this -
G D AWhat's it all about ?..
D
Don't You think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm so cool, no lovers fool
Running every show ...
He scares me so
I never thought I'd come to this -
What's it all about
Yet if he said he loved me
I'd be lost I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know ...
He scares me so !
I want him so,
I love him so ...
Damned For All Time
Judas: Now if I help you it matters that you see
These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what you do
I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time
I came because I had to I'm the one who saw
Jesus controlled it now jyst like he did before.
And further more I know that Jesus think so too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time
Annas, you're a friend, a wordly man and wise,
Caiaphas, my friend I know your simpathise .
Why are we the propherts ? Why are we the ones ?
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time
Blood Money
Annas: Cut the protesting, forget the excuses,
We want information get, up off the floor
Caiaphas: We have the papers, we need to arrest him
You know his movement - we know the law
Annas: Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded
Caiaphas: We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail !
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
Annas: With no crowd around him
Caiaphas: Then we can't fail.
Judas: I don't need your blood money !
Caiaphas: Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good .
Judas: I don't want your blood money !
Caiaphas: But you might as well take it - we think that you
should .
Annas: Think of the things you can do with that money -
Chose any charity give to the poor
Caiaphas: We've noted your motives - we've noted your feelings
Annas: This isn't blood money - it's a fee nothing,
Fee nothing, fee nothing more
Judas: Oh Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowd in Garden of Gethsemane
Choir: Well done, Judas,
Good old Judas...

But if I die what will be my reward ?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord
Why I should die ?
Can't you show me now that I wouldn't be
killed in vain ?
Show me just a little your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far to keen on where and how and
not so hot on why
Alright I'll die !
Just watch me die !
See how I die !
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years seems
like ninety why then am I
Scared to finish what I started, what you started
I didn't start it

But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison nail me to the
cross and break me,
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now -
before I change my mind !..

We are know that you are knews - but are you king ?
King of the Jews ?
Jesus: That's what you say
Pilate: What do you mean by that ?
That is not an answer
You're deep in trouble, friend -
Someone Christ - King of the Jews

An amazing thing - this silent king

Feed my household with this bread, you can do it - on you head !
Or has somthing gone wrong ? Why do you take so long ?
Come on, King of the Jews !
Hey ! Aren't you scared of me, Christ ? Mr. Wonderful Christ !
You're a joke, you're not the lord! You're nothing but a fraud
Take him away - his got nothing to say
Get out you, King of the Jews ! Get out of my life !
Judas' Death
Judas: My God ! I saw him - he looked three-quaters dead !
And he was so bad I had to turn my head
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
And I know who everybody's gonna blame
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good
I'd save to him all this suffering if I could
Don't believe... our good... save him... if I could...
Priest 3: Cut the confessions forget the excuses
G# Bb Eb G#I don't understand why you're filled with remorse
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse
Caiaphas: What you have done will be saving of Israel
You'll be remember'd forever for this
And not only that you've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good vages for one little kiss
Judas: Christ ! I know you can hear me
But I only did what you wanted me too
Christ ! I'd sell out the nation
For I have been saddled with the murder of you
I have been spattled with innocent blood,
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
I have been spattled with innocent blood,
I shall be dragged through the
slime and the slime and the slime and the mud.
I don't know how to love him
I don't know why he moves me
He's a man - he's just a man
He is not a King - he is just the same
As anyone I know
He scares me so
When he's cold and dead will he let me be ?
Does he love,does he love me too ? Does he care for me ?
My mind is in darkness now - My God, I'm sick
I've been used and you knew ah, all the time
God ! I'll never ever knows why you chose me for your crime
For your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me ! You have murdered me !
Choir: Poor old Judas
So long, Judas
Trial Before Pilate (including the 39 lashes)
Pilate: And so the King is once again my guest
And why is this ? Was Herod unimpressed ?
Caiaphas: We turn to Rome to sentence Nazareth
We have no law to put a man to death
We need him crusified - it's all you have to do
We need him crusified - it's all you have to do
Pilate: Talk to me Jesus Christ
You have been brought here - manacled,
Beaten by your own people -
Do you have the first idea why you deserve it ?
Listen King of the Jews
Where is your kingdom ?
Look at me - am I a Jew ?
Jesus: I have got no kingdom in this world -
I'm through, through, through
Mob: Talk to me Jesus Christ
Jesus: There maybe a kingdom for me somewhere - if I only knew
Pilate: Then you're a King ?
Jesus: It's you that say I am
I look for truth and find that I get damned
Pilate: But what is truth ? Is truth unchanging law ?
We both have truths - are mine the same of your ?
Mob: Crusify him ! Crusify him !
Pilate: What do you mean - you'd crusify your King ?
Mob: We have no King but Caesar !
Pilate: He's done no wrong - no not the slightest thing
Mob: We have no King but Caesar ! Crusify him !
Pilate: I see no reason - I find no evil
This man is harmless so why does he upset you ?
He's just misguided - thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him
Mob: Crusify him ! Crusify him !
Thirty nine lashes
Pilate: Where are you from Jesus ? What do you want Jesus ?
Tell me
You're got to be careful - you could be dead soon -
could well be
Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands
How can you stay quiet ? I don't believe you understand
Jesus: You have nothing in your hands
Any power you have comes to you from the beyong
Everithing is fixed and you can't change it
Pilate: You are fool Jesus Christ how can I help you ?
Mob: Pilate, crusify him, crusify him !
Remember Caeser, you have a duty,
You'll be devoted, crusify him !
You'll be deported, you have a duty
To keep on peace, so crusify him !
Pilate: Don't let me stop and great self-destruction
Die if you want to, you, misguided martyr!
I wash my hands of your demolition
Die, if you want to, innocent puppet !
Superstar
Voise of Judas:
C7 Eb
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
F7 C7Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
F7 C7Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land ?
C7 EbIf you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
{C, F7, C } {C7, F7, C7}

Voise of Judas:
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Who d'you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop ?
Buddah was he where it's at ? Is he where you are ?
Could Muhammed move a mountain or was that just PR ?
Did you mean to die like that ? Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death would be a record - breaker ?
Don't you get me wrong - I only want to know

Oh God, I'm thirsty ...
It is finished ...
Father into your hands I commend my spirit !

HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (Judas)
[4/4, Chords played over the Eb-Cm-Dm-Eb-Cm progression/bass riff]
My mind is clearer now at last all to well
F G DmI can see where we all soon will be
Dm F GIf you strip away the myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
F G DmYou really do believe this talk of God is true
Dm EmAnd all the good you've done will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more than the things you say
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
Dm GAll I ask is that you listen to me
Bb C F AAnd remember I've been your right-hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
FThey think they've found the new Messiah
D/A A+ A Bb Dm7And they'll hurt you when they find their wrong
Dm F
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then we called you a man
Bb C F AAnd believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
Dm BbBut ev'ry word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
D/A A+ A Bb Dm7And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[in 7/8]
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm/A A DmLike his father carving wood he'd have made good
Bb F Gm DmTables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm -- no one alarm
back to 4/4]
Dm FListen Jesus do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
Bb C F AWe are occupied -- have you forgotten how put down we are?
Dm BbI am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
Dm/A A+ A Bb Dm7And they'll crush us if we go too far
[back to 7/8, instrumental break repeating previous 7/8 bridge]
[back to 4/4]
Dm FListen Jesus to the warning I give
Dm GPlease remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
Dm BbAll your followers are blind
FToo much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Dm Bbmaj7Yes it's all gone sour...
{Dm - Bb, jam and ramble to end}

PILATE'S DREAM (Pilate)
/Bbm Ebm G#7
I dreamed I met a Galilean
Bbm CbA most amazing man
He had that look you very rarely find
F7 BbmThe haunting, hunted kind
Bbm Ebm G#7
I asked him to say what had happened
Bbm CbHow it all began
I asked again, he never said a word
F7 BbmAs if he hadn't heard
Bb Bb7
And next the room was full
Ebm G#of wild and angry men
they seemed to hate this man
Db (tacet)
they fell on him and then
F7 (tacet)
they disappeared again
Bbm Ebm G#7
Then I saw thousands of millions
crying for this man
F7 F# Ebm6And then I heard them mentioning my name
F7 BbmAnd leaving me the blame
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]

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
D/F# A DI've been changed, yes really changed

I don't know how to take this

And I've had so many men before
G D/F# Em D A9 AIn ve - ry ma - ny ways

[PSEUDOBRIDGE]
Should I bring him down
BmShould I scream and shout
Bm/A GShould I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
C G DI never thought I'd come to this
G D/F# Em A9 -} A
What's it all about?
D G D G D
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
D/F# A DI'm the one who's always been
A F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
G D/F# Em7 DHe scares me so
{repeat pseudobridge, instrumental to "never thought I'd come to this..."}

Yet if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
D/F# A DI couldn't cope, just couldn't cope

I ONLY WANT TO SAY (GETHSEMANE) (Jesus)
[in 4/4, Bb]
[verse]
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup a - way from me
For I don't want to taste its poison -- feel it burn me
I have changed, I'm not as sure as when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen, sure - ly I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years -- seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
[sub-verse]
Bbm G# F# F
But if I die
Bbm G# F# F
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Bbm G# F# F
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
Bbm Eb7
I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God (x2)
Bbm Eb7
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God (x2)

Why I should die

Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
