[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...

PILATE'S DREAM (Pilate)
[4/4]
Bbm Ebm Ab7
I dreamed I met a Galilean
Bbm Cb
A most amazing man
F7 F7+ Gb Ebm6
He had that look you very rarely find
F7 Bbm
The haunting, hunted kind
Bbm Ebm Ab7
I asked him to say what had happened
Bbm Cb
How it all began
F7 F7+ Gb Ebm6
I asked again, he never said a word
F7 Bbm
As if he hadn't heard
Bb Bb7
And next the room was full
Ebm Ab
of wild and angry men
Ab7
they seemed to hate this man
Db (tacet)
they fell on him and then
F7 (tacet)
they disappeared again
Bbm Ebm Ab7
Then I saw thousands of millions
Bbm Cb
crying for this man
F7 Gb Ebm6
And then I heard them mentioning my name
F7 Bbm
And leaving me the blame
