CAIAPHAS:
Ebm B Bb7
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.
ANNAS:
Fm
Why let him upset us?
Db
Caiaphas, let him be.
Eb Bb
All those imbeciles will see,
E
He really doesn't matter.
CAIAPHAS:
Fm
Jesus is important,
Db
We've let him go his way before.
Eb Bb
And while he starts a major war,
E
We theorize and chatter.
ANNAS:
B Cdim/B D7/B Bsus4
He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.
CAIAPHAS:
Bmadd11 Gmaj7/B
The difference is they call him King,
Bm7#5 Esus2
The difference frightens me!
Am7
What about the Romans?
F
When they see King Jesus crowned,
G D
Do you think they'll stand around,
Ab Am
Cheering, and applauding?
Am7
What about our people?
F
If they see we've lost our nerve,
G D
Don't you think that they deserve,
Ab
Something more rewarding.
ANNAS:
Am7
They've got what they want,
Ebm
They think so, anyway.
Gm
If he's what they want,
Eb7
Why take their toy away?
Dm
He's a craze!
CAIAPHAS:
Am7
Put yourself in my place,
F
I can hardly step aside.
G D
Can not let my hands be tied.
Ab Am
I am law and order.
Am7
What about our priesthood?
F
Don't you see that we could fall?
G D
If we are to last at all,
Ab Am
We can not be divided.
ANNAS:
Am7
Then say so to the council,
F
But don't rely on subtlety.
G D
Frighten them, or they won't see.
CAIAPHAS:
Ab
Then we are decided?
ANNAS:
Ab Fm B Ebm B Bb7
Then we are decided.
