HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS
Dm Dm F G
Judas: My mind is cleared now - at last all too well
F G Dm
I can see where we all soon will be
Dm F G
If you strip away the myth from the man
F G Dm
You will see where we all soon will be
Dm
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
Dm
And all the good you've done
Em
Will soon get swept away
F
You've begun to matter more
G
Then the things you say
Dm F
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
Dm G
All I ask is that you listen to me
Bb C F A
And remember - I've been your right hand man all along
Dm
You have set them all on fire
Bb F
They think they've found the new Messiah
Dm A Bb
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
Repeat chords above for verses:
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
Bb F Gm Dm
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm
Like his ofther carving wood
A Dm
He'd have made good!
Bb F Gm Dm
Tables, chairs and oaken chests should have suited Jesus best
Gm Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm
A Dm
No one alarm!

Listen Jesus to the warning I give,
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind,
Too much heaven on their minds
Bb
It was beautiful but now it's sour,
Dm Bbmaj7 Repeat & Fade
Yes it's all gone so sour ...
What's the Buzz?
Bbm
What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Eb major
What's the buzz ? Tell me what's happening ?
Bbm
Jesus: Why should you want to know ?
Eb major
Don't you mind about the future,
Bbm
Don't you try to think ahead
Eb maj
Save tomorrow for tomorrow,
Bbm
Think about today instead
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 -
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 oohhhhh that is good <--------- Don't play for this line
while you prattle through your supper <----Start chords again here
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 ?
G G7 C Cm
Judas: It seems to me a strange thing mystifying
G C Cm G
That 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.
F C G
It's not that I object to her profession
F C F G
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
F C G
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
F C F G
They 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 your slate is clean - then you can throw stones
If your 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: 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

Judas: Woman your fine ointment - brand new and expensive
Em D Em Em D
Could have been saved for the poor.
Em D C D
Why has it been wasted ? We could have raised maybe
Em D Em
Three hundred silver pieces or more.
Am D G C
People who are hungry, people who are starving
B B B B7sus4 B7
Matter more than your feet and hair !
Mary M. : Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you ah, don't you know
Ev'rything's alright, yes, ev'rything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight.
Apostles' women: Ev'rything's alright yes ev'rything's alright
yes
Jesus: (repeat chords for Judas' verse)
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
And relax think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
All: Ev'rything's alright, yes, ev'rything's alright, yes

Come on, King of the Jews !
Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round
here
You are all we talk about the wonder of the year
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool - walk across my swimming
pool
If you do that for me I'll let you go free
Come on, King of the Jews !
I only ask things I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are
?
I'm waiting yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
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
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 beleive 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 !

Judas:
C7 Eb
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
F7 C7
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
C7 Eb
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
F7 C7
Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange
land ?
C7 Eb
If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation

Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Who are you ? What have you sacrificed ?
Jesus Christ Surerstar
Do you think you're what they say you are ?
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
Choir: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you ? What have you sacrificed ?
Jesus Christ Surerstar
Do you think you're what they say you are ?
The Crucifixion
Jesus: God forgive them - they don't know what they're doing
Who is my mother ? Where is my mother ?
My God My God why have you forgotten me ?
Oh God, I'm thirsty ...
It is finished ...
Father into your hands I commend my spirit !
