Jesus Christ Superstar - Heaven On Their Minds Tabs

PROPS GO TO: unclejohnny

Riff: D D# C D

(Intro: All over the Riff)
My mind is clearer now
At last
All too well
I can see
Where we all
Soon will be
If you strip away
The myth
From the man
You will see
Where we all
Soon will be

Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you
You really do believe
This talk of God is true

And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say

(1st Verse: Full grove)

Dm
Listen Jesus
        F      
I don't like what I see

Dm                    G7 
All I ask is that you listen to me

Bb
And remember

C                              F    A7
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

             Dm                A7            Bb   Dm7
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong


(2nd Verse: Repeat 1st Verse chords)

I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then, we called you a man
And believe me
My admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

(Bridge: in 7/4 Time)

Bb             F
Nazareth Your famous son

Gm                   Dm
Should have stayed a great unknown

Gm               Dm
Like his father carving wood

A7             Dm
He'd have made good

Bb                 F
Tables, chairs and oaken chests

Gm                 Dm
Would have suited Jesus best

Gm                 Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm

A7       Dm
No one alarm

(Repeat 1st Verse chords)

Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far

(Break: using 7/4 time chords)

(3rd Verse; Repeat 1st Verse chords)

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with ev'ry hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
                                Bb
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Dm7              Bb
Yes it's all gone sour
(vamp over Dm7 and Bb)
Ah --- ah ah ah --- ah
God Jesus, it's all gone sour

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
So come on, come on, listen to me.
Ah --- ah
Come on, listen, listen to me.
Come on and listen to me.
Ah --- ah
