Heaven on Their Minds
REm REm FA SOL
Judas: My mind is cleared now - at last all too 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
Jesus !
REm
You've started to believe
MIm
The things they say of you
FA
You really do believe
SOL REm
This 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
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
And remember - I've been your right hand man all along
REm
You have set them all on fire
SIb FA
They think they've found the new Messiah
RE/LA LA SIb REm
And 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
SIb FA SOLm REm
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
SOLm REm/LA
Like his ofther carving wood
LA REm
He'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
SIb
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
SIbm
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

Judas: It seems to me a strange thing mystifying

That a man like you can waste his time on women of her

Yes I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair is hardly in your line.
DO RE SOL
It's not that I object to her profession
DO SOL DO SOL
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.

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

To save the poor from their lot ?

Pilate and Christ
Friday
Pilate: Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway ?
Who is this unfortunate ?
Soldier: Someone Christ - King of the Jews
Pilate: Oh so this is Jesus Christ I'm really quite suprised
You look so small - not a king at all
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
How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate
An amazing thing - this silent king
Since you come from Galilea then need not come to me
You're Herod's race ! You're Herod's case !
Crowd: Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho

Hey JC, JC please explain to me ?

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...

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

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 !

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 !
