JUDAS:
           Gm7     Gm
My God! I saw him.

                 Gm7          Gm
He looked three-quarters dead!

     Gm7           Gm              Gm7         Gm
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.

     Gm7             Gm                  Gm7           Gm
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,

 Gm7                Gm             Gm7       Gm
And I know who everybody's gonna blame.

   Gm7                  Gm               Gm7         Gm
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.

     Eb                             F7
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.

 D7         G7      C7      F7      Gm7
Don't believe our good.

         D7      G7     C7      F7       Gm7
And I'd save him if I could.


ANNAS:
 Gm            D              D7           Gm
Cut the confessions, forget the excuses.

   Bb            C                  F7               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                 Dm                  Gm
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse.


CAIAPHAS:
 Gm               D                  D7           Gm
What you have done will be the saving of everyone.

 Bb             C             F7          Bb
You'll be remembered forever for this.

     Gm          D                   D7               Gm
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.

 Bb               C           D            Gm
  Pretty good wages for one little kiss.


JUDAS:
 Eb                          Bb
Christ, I know you can't hear me,

     Ab        Gm              D           Eb
But I only did what you wanted me to.

 Eb                          Bb
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,

     Ab             Gm                  D           Gm
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.

 Gm             D                D7          Gm
I have been spattered with innocent blood.

 Bb            C                     F               Bb
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.

 Gm             D                D7          Gm
I have been spattered with innocent blood.

 Bb            C                     D                             D7               Gm
I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud!


 G   Cadd9       G                    Cadd9       G
I        don't know how to love him.

 Cadd9                    G    D          Dsus4
  I don't know why he moves me.

 G            D   G       D
  He's a man. He's just a man.

 Bm       Em             Bm    Em                     C   G         Am    G   C
  He is not a king.    He's just the same    as anyone    I know.

 G   C   G   Am7     G
           He scares me so,

 C                 B          Em                                            C
  When he's cold and dead. Will he let me be? Does he love - does he love me too?

                  G     F
Does he care for me?

My mind is in darkness.

You're so bloody, Christ.
