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 ...

But if I die what will be my reward ?
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
vain ?
Show me just a little your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far to keen on where and how and not so hot oh
why
Alright I'll die !
Just watch me die !
See how I die !
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years seems like ninety why
then am I
Scared to finish what I started, what you started - I
didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison nail me to the cross and
break me,
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now - before I change
my mind !..

Don't believe... our good... save him... if I could...

Priest 3: Cut the confessions forget the excuses
--------- Ab Bb Eb Ab
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

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 !

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
F7 C7
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
{C, F7, C } {C7, F7, C7}
Don't you get me wrong - I only want to know {3

Who are you ? What have you sacrificed ?

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

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 !
