HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS

Jesus Christ Superstar 
Andrew Lloyd Webber-music
Tim Rice-lyrics


[4/4]

                Dm                 F            G
My mind is clearer now at last all to 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                            Em
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
      F                              G                  Dm
You really do believe this talk of God is true
      Dm                                      Em
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
F                                         G                           Dm
You've begun to matter more than 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            A
And remember I've been your right-hand man all along
              Dm                       Bb
You have set them all on fire
                            F
They think they've found the new Messiah
                D                           A             Bb     Dm7
And they'll hurt you when they find their wrong

Dm                            F
I remember when this whole thing began
Dm                              G
No talk of God then we called you a man
Bb                    C                               F              A
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
              Dm                        Bb
But ev'ry word you say today
                    F
Gets twisted 'round some other way
                D                     A                 Bb   Dm7
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

[tempo 7/8]
Bb                  F              Gm                          Dm
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm                 Dm                A                      Dm
Like his father carving wood he'd have made good
Bb                      F                 Gm                       Dm
Tables chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
Gm                     Dm                  A                 Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm -- no one alarm

[back to  4/4]
Dm                        F
Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
Dm                            G
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
Bb                         C                                        F                 A
We are occupied -- have you forgotten how put down we are?
       Dm                              Bb
I am frightened by the crowd
                 F
For we are getting much too loud
                Dm                A         Bb  Dm7
And they'll crush us if we go too far

[tempo 7/8]
Instrumental, repeating the previous 7/8 chorus

[back to 4/4]
Dm                       F
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Dm                              G
Please remember that I want us to live
Bb                            C                                  F              A
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
           Dm                       Bb
All your followers are blind
               F
Too much Heaven on their minds
         Dm                      A   Bb
It was beautiful but now it's sour
           Dm       Bb7
Yes it's all gone sour...

Dm - Bb repeat till fade
