KING HEROD:
F#m         F#m/E        D                A
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
F#m                   F#m/E        D              A
  You've been getting quite a name all around the place.
F#m       C#m7     D                   A
  Healing cripples, raising from the dead.
D         A      Bm          A
  And now I understand you're God,
   D             A/C#        Bm7   E7
At least, that's what you've said, so ...

A                              B7
You are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ.
E                               A               E
Prove to me that you're divine; change my water into wine.
       A                          B7
That's all you need do, then I'll know it's all true.
E7                     A
  Come on, King of the Jews.

F#m             F#m/E             D                      A
Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here.
F#m              F#m/E           D             A
  You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year.
F#m         C#m7 D             A
  Oh what a pity if it's all a lie.
D          A         Bm      A        D      A/C#   Bm7   E7
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you tried.
       A                              B7
So, if you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ.
E                               A               E
Prove to me that you're no fool; walk across my swimming pool.
       A                          B7
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free.
E7                     A     F7
  Come on, King of the Jews.

Gm                Gm7               Eb                 Bb
  What is it that you have got that puts you where you are.
     Gm        Dm           Eb            Bb

You're a joke. You're not the Lord. You are nothing but a fraud.
