Judas: My God! I saw him - he looked three-quarters 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

Eb F

I'd save to him all this suffering if I could

D7 G7 C7 F7 D7 G7 C7 F7

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

Gm D D7 Gm

Priest 3: Cut the confessions forget the excuses

--------- Bb C F Bb

I don't understand why you're filled with remorse

Gm D D7 Gm

All that you've said has come true with a vengeance

Bb C D7 FmG

The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse

Caiaphas: What you have done will be saving of Israel

--------- You'll be remembered forever for this

And not only that you've been paid for your efforts

Pretty good wages for one little kiss

Eb Bb

Judas: Christ! I know you can't hear me

------ Ab7 Gm D Eb

But I only did what you wanted me to

Eb Bb

Christ! I'd sell out the nation

Ab7 Gm D Bb

For I have been saddled with the murder of you

I have been splattered with innocent blood,

I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.

I have been splattered with innocent blood,

I shall be dragged through the slime and the...

slime and the... slime and the mud!

G C G C G

I don't know how to love him

C G/D D

I don't know why he moves me

G/B D G D

He's a man - he's just a man

Bm Em Bm Em

He is not a King - he is just the same

C G/B Am C/G G/D D

As any- one I know

C G/B Am G

He scares me so

C7 B7 Em

When he's cold and dead will he let me be?

Em/D C G F

Does he love, does he love me too? Does he care for me?

[music like "Heaven On Their Minds" but in G with "hendrix" G]

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...

Your foul bloody crime

You have murdered me! You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me!

Murdered me! Murdered me!

F# (Stacked harmony = F# F# C# A#)

Choir: Poor old Judas

------ So long, Judas

2x thru

Voice of Judas:

E G7

Everytime I look at you I don't understand

A7 E7

Why you let the things you did get so out of hand

You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned

Why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?

If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation

Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication

Girls: Don't you get me wrong, Don't you get me wrong now {2 times}

Judas: Don't you get me wrong {4 times}

Girls: Only want to know, Only want to know now {2 times}

Judas: Only want to know {4 times}

E A/E

Choir: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ

------ D(Bm)/E A/E E

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Jesus Christ Superstar

Do you think you're what they say you are?

Voice of Judas:

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top

Who d'you think besides your self's the pick of the crop?

Buddha was he where it's at? Is he where you are?

Could Mohammed 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?

Girls: Don't you get me wrong, Don't you get me wrong now {2 times}

Judas: Don't you get me wrong {4 times}

Girls: Only want to know, Only want to know now {2 times}

Judas: Only want to know {4 times}

Choir: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ

------ Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Jesus Christ Superstar

Do you think you're what they say you are?

4-4 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!
