         You will see where we all soon will be

         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
         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

            You have set them all on fire
         Bb                     F
            They think they've found the new Messiah

Dm
            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

            Bb             F          Gm                    Dm
            Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great
unknown

            Like his ofther carving wood
            A               Dm
            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!

            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,
ev'ry 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 ...

               Bbm
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 ?

         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 .

                       C    D            G         It's not that I
object to her profession                    C            G
C                  G
         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                 C

                    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 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 !

            Then when we retire we can write the gospels
            So they'll still talk about us when we've died

Judas:  Em                      C
---------   You said pathetic man - see where you've brought us to
            Am                   H7
        Our ideals die around us all because of you
                     Em
        And now the saddest cut of all -
                 C
        Someone has to turn you in
                Am                      H7
        Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal
           Em
        A jaded mandarin
           C
        A jaded mandarin
           Am               H7
        A jaded jaded ...  faded mandarin

Jesus:
------  Em           C   Am        Get out! They're waiting! Get
out!                         H7        They're waiting for

you I don't understand
          A                                 Em
        Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
         Em                                 G               A   Em
        You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned -


Apostles:   Look at all my trials and tribulations
---------   Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
            Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
            Till this evening in this morning life is fine
            Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
            Knew that I would make it if I tried
            Then when we retire we can write the gospels
            So they'll still talk about us when we've died

Jesus:   Will no-one stay awake with me ?
------   Peter ?  John ?  James ?
         Will none of you wait with me ?
         Peter ?  John ?  James ?

            Would I be more noticed than I ever was before ?
            Would the things I've said and done matter any more ?
               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

            Show me just a little your omnipresent brain
            Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die

they seemed to hate this man

they fell on him and then

they disappeared again

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.

Should I bring him down

Should I scream and shout
                          F
Should I speak of love

Let my feelings out?

I never thought I'd come to this
F                    G
What's it all  about?


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  lover's fool

Running every show

He scares me  so






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
