3) WHAT'S THE BUZZ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [APOSTLES] x4
A7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening. D7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening.
[JESUS]
A7Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the D7future? Don't you try to A7think ahead? Save tomorrow for toD7morrow, Think about today inA7stead.
[APOSTLES] [JESUS] A7 | What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. | D7 | A7 D7 What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. | I could give you facts and figures. A7 | What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. | D7 | A7 D7 What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. | Even give you plans and forecasts. A7 | When do we ride into Jerusalem? | D7 | A7 D7 When do we ride into Jerusalem? | Even tell you where I'm going. [APOSTLES] x3
A7When do we ride into Jerusalem? D7When do we ride into Jerusalem?
[JESUS]
A7Why should you want to know? Why are you obsessedD7 with fighting? Times and fates you A7can't defy? If you knew the pathD7 we're riding, You'd understand it lessA7 than I.
[APOSTLES] x2
A7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening. D7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening.
[MARY MAGDALENE]
A7Let me try to cool down your face a bit. D7Let me try to cool down your face a bit. A7Let me try to cool down your face a bit. D7Let me try to cool down your face so lA7et me try, let me try D7Cool down your face A7Let me try to D7cool down your face a bit.
[JESUS]
A7Mary, mmh, that is good, While you prattle through yourD7 supper, Where and when and A7who and how. She alone has triedD7 to give me What I need right here and A7now.
[APOSTLES] x6
A7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening. D7What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening.
A7 4) STRANGE THING MYSTIFYING -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [JUDAS]
G It seems to G7me a strange thingC, mystiCmfying That a Gman like you can Cwaste his timeCm on women of her Gkind.
[SIMON]
GHey, cool it man. [JUDAS] Hm, yes, I can G7understand thatC she aCmmuses, But to Glet her kiss youC, stroke your hairCm, that's hardly in your Gline. It's not that FI obCject to her proGfession, But she Fdoesn't fit in Cwell with Fwhat you teach andG say. It doesn't Fhelp us if Cyou're inconGsistent. They only Fneed a small exCcuse to Fput us all aGway.
[JESUS]
AbWho Bbare Fmyou to criticise her? Ab WhBbo arFme you to despise her? AbLeave her, Bbleave Fmher, let her be now. AbLeave her, Bbleave Fmher, she's with me now. AbIf Bbyour Fmslate is clean, Abthen Bbyou Fmcan throw stones. AbIf Bbyour Fmslate is not, thAben leBbave Fmher alone. Cm
CmI'm amazed that men like youFm can be so shallow, thickBbm7 and Bbmslow There is not a man among you who Gknows or cares if I come or Cgo.
[CROWD]
AbNo, Bbyou're Fmwrong! You're very wrong! AbNo, Bbyou're Fmwrong! You're very wrong! AbNo, Bbyou're Fmwrong! You're very wrong! AbNo, Bbyou're Fmwrong! You're very wrong! AbHow Bbcan youFm say that? AbHow Bbcan youFm say that? CHow Bbmcan Cyou Bbmsay Cthat? CHow Bbmcan Cyou Bbmsay Cthat?
[JESUS]
Cm Not one, not one of you!

Ebm We've been sitting on the fence for farB too long.Bb7 [ANNAS] Why let him Fmupset us? Caiaphas, Dblet him be. All those imbeEbciles will see, Bb He really Edoesn't matter.
[CAIAPHAS]
Jesus Fmis important, We've let him Dbgo his way before. And while he Ebstarts a major war,Bb We theoErize and chatter.
[ANNAS]
He's Bjust another Cdim/Bscripture thumping D7/Bhack from GaliBsus4lee. [CAIAPHAS] Bmadd11 Gmaj7/B The difference is they call him King, Bm7#5 Esus2 The difference frightens me! What about the Am7Romans? When they seeF King Jesus crowned, Do you thinkG they'll stand around,D Cheering, and apAbplauding? Am What about our Am7people? If they see we'veF lost our nerve, Don't you think thatG they deserve,D Something Abmore rewarding.
[ANNAS]
Am7They've got what they want, They Ebmthink so, anyway. GmIf he's what they want, Why take Eb7their toy away? DmHe's a craze!
[CAIAPHAS]
Am7Put yourself in my place, I can Fhardly step aside. Can not letG my hands be tied. D I am Ablaw and order.Am What about our Am7priesthood? Don't you Fsee that we could fall? If we are to Glast at all,D We can not Abbe divided.Am
[ANNAS]
Then say so to the Am7council, But don't relyF on subtlety. Frighten themG, or they won't see.D
[CAIAPHAS]
Then we are deAbcided? [ANNAS] Then we are decided. Ab Fm B Ebm B Bb7
