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
-------------------
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 !
---------
Voise of 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 ?
Jesus Christ Surerstar
Do you think you're what they say you are ?
Voise of 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 ?
---------------
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 !

I dreamed I met a Galilean

A most amazing man

He had that look you very rarely find
F7 Bbm
The haunting, hunted kind
Bbm Ebm Ab7
I asked him to say what had happened

How it all began

I asked again, he never said a word

As if he hadn't heard

And next the room was full

they seemed to hate this man

they fell on him and then

they disappeared again

Then I saw thousands of millions

crying for this man
F7 Gb Ebm6
And then I heard them mentioning my name
F7 Bbm
And leaving me the blame
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.

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 ?

I dreamed I met a Galilean
Bbm Cb
A most amazing man
F7 F7+ Gb Ebm6
He had that look you very rarely find
F7 Bbm
The haunting, hunted kind
Bbm Ebm Ab7
I asked him to say what had happened
Bbm Cb
How it all began
F7 F7+ Gb Ebm6
I asked again, he never said a word
F7 Bbm
As if he hadn't heard
Bb Bb7
And next the room was full
Ebm Ab
of wild and angry men
Ab7
they seemed to hate this man
Db (tacet)
they fell on him and then
F7 (tacet)
they disappeared again
Bbm Ebm Ab7
Then I saw thousands of millions
Bbm Cb
crying for this man
F7 Gb Ebm6
And then I heard them mentioning my name
F7 Bbm
And leaving me the blame
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.
