{t:Jesus On My Mind}
{st:J.C. Superstar}
Intro: Dm
My mind is [Dm]clearer now [D]
at [F]last all too [G]well I can [F]see
where we [G]all soon will [Dm]be [D]
If you [Dm]strip away [D]
the [F]myth from the [G]man you will [F]see
where we [G]all soon will [Dm]be [D]
[Dm]Jesus! [D]
You're [Dm]starting to believe
the [Em]things they say of you
You [F]really do believe
This [G]talk of god is true_[Dm]__
And [Dm]all the good you've done
will [Em]soon get swept away
You[F]'ve begun to matter more than the things you say
[Dm] Listen Jesus I don't [F]like what I see
[Dm] All I ask is that you [G]listen to me
[Bb] And remember[C] I've been your right hand man all [F]along
You have [Dm]set them all on fire [B]
They think they've [F]found the new Messiah
And they'll [D/A]hurt you when they [A+]find [A]they're [Bb]wrong [Dm]
[Dm] I remember when this [F]whole thing began
[Dm] No talk of God then we [G]called you a man
[Bb] And believe me[C] my admiration for you [F]hasn't died
But ev'ry [Dm]word you say today [B]
Gets twisted '[F]round some other way
And they'll [D/A]hurt you if they [A+]think [A]you've [Bb]lied [D]
BRIDGE #1:
[Bb]Nazareth your [F]famous son [Gm]should have stayed a [Dm]great unknown
[Gm]Like his father [D/A]carving wood[A] he'd have made [Dm]good
[Bb]Tables, chairs and [F]oaken chests [Gm]would have suited [Dm]Jesus best
[Gm]He'd have caused nobody harm--No one alarm
(chords as previous verse)
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 (Dm7 Bb Dm)
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
It was [Dm/A]beautiful but [A+]now [A]it's [Bb]sour
Yes it's [Dm]all gone [Bbmaj7]sour
[Bb]Ah ah ah [Dm]ah ah
(repeat last line to fade)
