Judas:   My God!  I saw him - he looked three-quarters dead! 
------   And he was so bad I had to turn my head 
         You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame 
         And I know who everybody's gonna blame 
         I don't believe he knows I acted for our good 
             Eb                             F  
         I'd save to him all this suffering if I could 
         D7      G7       C7  F7      D7   G7     C7   F7  
         Don't believe... our good... save him... if I could... 
            Gm         D           D7        Gm 
Priest 3:   Cut the confessions forget the excuses 
---------     Bb         C                F             Bb 
            I don't understand why you're filled with remorse 
            Gm              D             D7          Gm 
            All that you've said has come true with a vengeance 
                Bb          C                D7               Fm G 
            The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse 
 
Caiaphas:   What you have done will be saving of Israel 
---------   You'll be remembered forever for this 
            And not only that you've been paid for your efforts 
            Pretty good wages for one little kiss 
 
         Eb                        Bb 
Judas:   Christ!  I know you can't hear me 
------       Ab7    Gm           D         Eb 
         But I only did what you wanted me to 
         Eb                        Bb 
         Christ!  I'd sell out the nation 
             Ab7         Gm               D         Bb 
         For I have been saddled with the murder of you 
 
         I have been splattered with innocent blood, 
         I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud. 
         I have been splattered with innocent blood, 
         I shall be dragged through the slime and the...  
         slime and the... slime and the mud! 
 
            G C     G           C    G   
            I don't know how to love him 
            C                   G/D   D   
            I don't know why he moves me 
                   G/B  D              G    D 
            He's a man  -  he's just a man 
                  Bm    Em           Bm       Em         
            He is not a King - he is just the same 
            C    G/B  Am  C/G  G/D   D 
              As any- one I    know 
            C  G/B    Am G 
            He scares me so 
            C7                 B7                  Em 
            When he's cold and dead will he let me be? 
                    Em/D                  C                      G    F  
            Does he love, does he love me too?  Does he care for me? 
 
 {music like 'Heaven On Their Minds' but in G with 'hendrix' G 
 
         My mind is in darkness now - My God, I'm sick 
         I've been used and you knew ah, all the time 
         God!  I'll never ever knows why you chose me for your crime...  
         Your foul bloody crime 
         You have murdered me!  You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! 
         Murdered me! Murdered me!
