Heaven on Their Minds

Jesus Christ Superstar


Tom: F

       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 
 
         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 
         Bb               C                              F 
            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 
                        D/A                  A            Bb 
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 
            Gm               Dm/A 
            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! 
 
 
            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, 
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 ...
