From: t.j.strom@ub.uio.no (Trond J. Stroem)
Authors for Jesus Christ Superstar was Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim
Rice (lyrics).
I have saved some files with chords for this rock opera that were posted
on the Net earlier; here is a repost. Hopefully the original poster's name
is still in there somewhere!
The complete lyrics to Jesus Christ Superstar is found on the original
1970 album, with Murray Head as Judas and Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) as
Jesus. I think the CD reissue has the lyrics as well, but I am not sure.
(The original version lacks one song that was added in the movie, called
"Then We are Decided" or something similiar.)

SONGS FROM "JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR : A ROCK OPERA"
By Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
~From: jloya@World.Std.Com (Jim Loya)
**************************************************
Songs included:
* Heaven on Their Minds
* Everything's Alright
* Hosanna
* Pilate's Dream
* I Don't Know How to Love Him
* Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)
* The Last Supper
* King Herod's Song
These are sketchy and a little "thrown-together" because I don't have the
time to be more verbose... perhaps in the future... The songs that I
included are in the order that they appear in the show. All Jesus Christ
Superstar Music and Lyrics are by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. (C) 1970
by Leeds Music Limited.
Questions and comments welcome. I've done this show about a dozen times
in the past 15 years, and I pretty much know it inside and out.

HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS (Judas)
[4/4, Chords played over the Eb-Cm-Dm-Eb-Cm progression/bass riff]
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 A+ 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 A+ A Bb Dm7
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[in 7/8]
Bb F Gm Dm
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm/A 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 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 A+ A Bb Dm7
And they'll crush us if we go too far
[back to 7/8, instrumental break repeating previous 7/8 bridge]
[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 A+ A Bb
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Dm Bbmaj7
Yes it's all gone sour...
<Dm - Bb, jam and ramble to end>
