[PILATE]
My Dmmind is clearer now at Flast all tGoo well
I can Fsee where we GallDm soon will be
If you strip away the Fmyth fGrom the man
You willF see where we GallDm soon will be
Jesus! You've started to believe the Emthings they say of you
You Freally do believe this Gtalk of God is trDmue
And all the good you've done will Emsoon be swept away
FYou've begun to matter more Gthan the things you sDmay
Dm Dm Dmaddb9 Dm7 Dm (x4)
Dm Listen Jesus I don't Flike what I F6seeF
Dm All I Dm7ask Dmis that you Glisten to Gadd4me G
Bb And reBbmaj7member Bb C I've been your Cadd9right Chand manF all along A A7sus4
You have Dmset them all on fire Bb Bbmaj7 Bb
They think they've Ffound the F6newF Messiah F6 F
And they'll Dmhurt you when they A7sus4find they're Bbmaj7wrong Dm7
Dm I remember when this Fwhole thing F6begFan
Dm No talk of Dm7God Dmthen, we Gcalled yGadd4ou a mGan
Bb And beBbmaj7lieve Bbme C my admCadd9iratioCn for Fyou hasn't died A
ButA7sus4 every Dmword you say todayBb Bbmaj7 Bb
Gets twisted F'round some oF6theFr way F6 F
And they'll Dmhurt you if they A7sus4think you've Bbmaj7lied Dm7
(7/8)
BbNazareth's most Ffamous son Gmshould have stayed a Dmgreat unknown
GmLike his father Dmcarving wood AHe'd have made Dmgood
BbTables, chairs and Foaken chests Gmwould have suited DmJesus best
GmHe'd have caused Dmnobody harmA no one aDmlarm
Dm Listen Dm7JesuDms, do you caFre for your F6racFe?
Dm Don't you sDm7ee wDme must Gkeep in Gadd4our plGace?
Bb We aBbmaj7re occuBbpiedC have you foCadd9rgotteCn how put Fdown we areA? A7sus4

[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.

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!
