HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (Judas)
[4/4, Chords played over the Eb-Cm-Dm-Eb-Cm progression/bass riff]
Dm F G
My mind is clearer now at last all to 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
Dm Em
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
You really do believe this talk of God is true
Dm EmAnd all the good you've done will soon get swept away
F G DmYou've begun to matter more than 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 F AAnd remember I've been your right-hand man all along
Dm BbYou have set them all on fire
They 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
Dm GNo talk of God then we called you a man
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
Dm BbBut ev'ry word you say today
FGets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[in 7/8]
Bb F Gm DmNazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood he'd have made good
Bb F Gm DmTables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
Gm Dm/A A DmHe'd have caused nobody harm -- no one alarm
back to 4/4]
Dm FListen Jesus do you care for your race?
Dm GDon't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied -- have you forgotten how put down we are?
Dm BbI am frightened by the crowd
FFor we are getting much too loud
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]
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Dm GPlease remember that I want us to live
Bb C F ABut it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind
FToo much heaven on their minds
Dm/A A+ A BbIt was beautiful but now it's sour
Yes it's all gone sour...

PILATE'S DREAM (Pilate)
/
I dreamed I met a Galilean
Bbm CbA most amazing man
F7 F7+ F# Ebm6He had that look you very rarely find
The haunting, hunted kind
I asked him to say what had happened
Bbm CbHow it all began
F7 F7+ F# Ebm6I asked again, he never said a word
As if he hadn't heard
And next the room was full
Ebm G#of wild and angry men
G#7they 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
Bbm Cbcrying for this man
And then I heard them mentioning my name
F7 BbmAnd 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]
D G D G D
I don't know how to love him
G G6 D/A AWhat to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
A F#m7 Bm F#m7 BmIn these past few days when I've seen myself
G D/F# Em D A9I seem like someone else
D G D G D
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
D/F# A DHe's a man, he's just a man
A F#m7 Bm F#m7 BmAnd I've had so many men before
In ve - ry ma - ny ways
G D/F# Em7 DHe's just one more
[PSEUDOBRIDGE]
G F#7
Should I bring him down
Should I scream and shout
Bm/A GShould I speak of love
D/ALet my feelings out?
I 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
G G6 D/A AI should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
A F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
G D/F# Em D A9 ARunning every show
He scares me so
Yet if he said he loved me
G G6 D AI'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7I'd turn my head, I'd back away
G D/F# Em D A9 AI wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
G D/F# Em7 DI want him so
G D/F# Em7 DI love him so
THE LAST SUPPER (Apostles)
[in 4/4]
[verse 1]
G D Em G/D
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
G B7/F#Don't disturb me now
Em G7/D G9/DI can see the an - swers
Till this evening is this morning
G D7Life is fine
[verse 2]
G D Em G/D
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
G B7/F# Em G7/D G9/DThen when we retire we can write the gos - pels
G7 G9 C C6 Cmaj7 D9 GSo they'll still talk a - bout us when we've died
[verse 3]
G D Em G/D
Look at all my trials and tribulations

What's that in the bread?
Em G7/D G9/DIt's gone to my he - ad
G7 G9 C C6 Cmaj7 D9Till this evening is this morning
Life is fine
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)
[in 4/4, Bb]
[verse]
Bbm Bbm/G# Bbm/F# Bbm/FI only want to say
If there is a way
G# G#sus G# C#sus C#Take this cup a - way from me
F F+ F Bbmsus Bbm F#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
Ebm Ebm/C# Ebm/C Ebm/BbNow I'm sad and tired
G# G#sus G# C#sus C# F F+ FListen, sure - ly I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years -- seems like thirty
Bbm/F F BbmCould you ask as much from any other man?
[sub-verse]
Bbm G# F# F
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Bbm G# F# FLet them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
Bbm Eb7I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God (x2)
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God (x2)
Why I should die
Bbm G# F# FWould I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Bbm G# F# FWould the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord (x2)
Bbm Eb7I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord (x2)
[key change to C]
If I die what would be my reward? (x2)
Cm FI'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord (x2)
Cm Bb G# G Cm Bb G# GWhy should I die? Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Cm Bb G# GShow me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Cm Bb G# GShow me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
[repeat Cm - Bb - Ab - G progression]
Alright I'll die! Just watch me die!
See how I die! See how I die!
[Instrumental orchestra break in 5/8 -- Cm Bbsus Ab G]
[Break last round at Ab - Tacet - return to initial tempo in Cm]
Cm Cm/Bb Cm/G# Cm/G Fm Fm/Eb Fm/D Fm/CThen I was inspired, now I'm sad and tired
After all, I've tried for three years seems like ninety
Cm G# Cm/GWhy then am I scared to finish what I started
D7 D7-9 GWhat you started -- I didn't start it
God, thy will is hard but you hold every card
Bb Bbsus Ebsus EbI will drink your cup of poison
G G+ G Cm G#Nail me to your cross and break me, bleed me, beat me
Kill me -- take me now before I change my mind
KING HEROD'S SONG (Herod)
[in 4/4]
NOTE: The E6 floating about is actually an E6 (no B), and likewise
the F6 floating about is actually an F6 (no C), and likewise
the G6 floating about is actually a G6 (no D). Aren't key
changes wonderful? Feel like this is a Barry Manilow tune. :>
F#m F#m/E D A
Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
F#m F#m/E D AYou've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead

A B7So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ

A B7 E6That's all you need do and I'll know it's all true

Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made 'round here

Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
A B7So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
E6 E A (tacet)
Prove to me that you're no fool -- walk across my swimming pool
A B7 E6If you do that for me then I'll let you go free
