    1-1 Overture
    -----------------------
  • (For my tab to "Overture" please go to: http://www.dosguys.com/JCS/overture.htm)
     
    It pretty much consists of:
  • 1. Trial Before Pilate, with no vocals and some chords missing (C# in climbing section) and parts left out (Where are you from Jesus? What do you want Jesus? Tell me...),then
    2. The "Superstar Theme" in D (D G/D, C/D, G/D), and then
    3. Distant angelic ahhs doing the melody of Judas singing "On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him" twice
  • 4. Soft strings doing "So long Judas. Poor old Judas"
     
     
  • 1-2 Heaven On Their Minds
    -----------------------
    (x means picked the muted G string)
  • [guitar] G|----7-xx8-x5-x77|----7-xx8-x5-x77| repeat &
    D|0-0-(let ring)--|0-0-(let ring)--| repeat
     
  • [Piano chords played over guitar riff above
    preferably on upper 3 strings with open D string always doing riff]
    (first D and G chords are very low voicings. The rest are an octave higher)
  • D G F G
    Judas: My mind is clearer now - at last all too well
    ------ Dm G Dm F
  • I can see where we all soon will be
    Dm Dm F G
    If you strip away the myth from the man
  • Dm Em F D7sus
    You will see where we all soon will be
    Dm D7sus
  • Jesus!
    Dm
    You've started to believe
  • Em
    The things they say of you
    F
  • You really do believe
    G Dm
    This talk of God is true
  •  
    And all the good you've done
    Will soon get swept away
  • You've begun to matter more
    Than the things you say

  • I remember when this whole thing began
    No talk of God then - we called you a man
    And believe 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

    [back to 4/4]
  • Listen Jesus do you care for your race,
    Can't you see we must keep in our place
    We are occupied - Have you forgotten how put down we are?
  • I am frightened by the crowd
    For we are getting much too loud
    And they'll crush us if we go to far.
