[INTRO]
[Dm] [Abm] [G] [Dm]

[ANNAS]
[Ddim7] Good Caiaphas, the[Ddim7] council waits for you.[Ddim7]
The Pharisees and [Ddim7]priests are here for you.[Ddim7]

[CAIAPHAS]
Ah gentle[Fdim7]men, you know why we are here.[Fdim7]
We've not much t[Fdim7]ime, and quite a probl[Fdim7]em here [Fdim7]

[MOB OUTSIDE]
Ho[Abdim7]sanna! Superstar!
Ho[Abdim7]sanna! Superstar!
Ho[Abdim7]sanna! Superstar!
Ho[Abdim7]sanna! Superstar!

[ANNAS]
[Fm7]Listen to that [Bb7]howling mob of [Fm7]blockheads in the [Bb7]street!
[Fm7]A trick or two w[Bb7]ith lepers, and the [Fm7]whole town's on its [Bb7]feet.

[ALL PRIESTS]
[Bb]He is [E]dan[Bb]gerous!

[MOB OUTSIDE]
[E]Jesus Christ [A]Superstar!

[ALL PRIESTS]
[Bb]He is [E]dan[Bb]gerous!

[MOB OUTSIDE]
[D]Tell us that [A]you're who they [G]say you are.

[PRIEST TWO]
The [G]man is in [C]town right now to [A7]whip up some [D]support.

[PRIEST THREE]
A [B7]rabble rousing [Em]mission that I [Fmaj7]think we must [Em7]abort.

[ALL PRIESTS]
[Fm]He is [E]dan[Bb]gerous!

[MOB OUTSIDE]
[E]Jesus Christ [A]Superstar!

[ALL PRIESTS]
[Fm]He is [E]dan[Bb]gerous!

[PRIEST TWO]
[Fm] Look Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard.

[PRIEST THREE]
[Fm] Quick Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard.

[CAIAPHAS]
No, wait! [Fm] We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

[ANNAS]
[Fm]What then to [C]do about Jesus of [Fm]Nazareth?
[Ab]Miracle [Bb]wonderman[Eb7] , hero of [Ab]fools.

[PRIEST THREE]
No [Fm]riots, no [C]army, no fighting, no [Fm]slogans.

[CAIAPHAS]
[Ab]One thing I'll [Bb]say for him - [C]Jesus is [Fm]cool.

[ANNAS]
[Fm]We dare not l[C]eave him to his own de[Fm]vices.
His [Ab]half-witted [Bb]fans will get [Eb7]out of con[Ab]trol.

[PRIESTS]
[Fm]But how can w[C]e stop him?
His glamour in[Fm]creases
By [Ab]leaps every [Bb]minute; he's [C]top of the [Fm]poll.

[CAIAPHAS]
[Db]I see bad things a[Ab]rising.
The [Gb7]crowd crown him [Fm]king; which the [C]Romans would [Fm]ban.
[Db]I see blood and de[Ab]struction,
Our [Gb7]elimi[Fm]nation be[C]cause of one [Fm]man.
[Fm]Blood and des[C]truction because of one [Fm]man.

[ALL PRIESTS]
Be[Ab]cause, be[Bb]cause, be[Eb7]cause of one [Ab]man.

[CAIAPHAS]
Our [Fm]elimi[C]nation because of one [Fm]man.

[ALL PRIESTS]
Be[Ab]cause, be[Bb]cause, be[C]cause of one, 'cause of one, [C7]'cause of one [Fm]man.


[PRIEST THREE]
[Fm]What then to [C]do about this Jesus[Fm]mania?

[ANNAS]
Now [Ab]how to we [Bb]deal with a [Eb7]carpenter [Ab]king?

[PRIESTS]
[Fm]Where do we [C]start with a man who is [Fm]bigger
Than [Ab]John was when [Bb]John did his [C]baptism [Fm]thing?

[CAIAPHAS]
[Db]Fools, you have no per[Ab]ception!
The [Gb7]stake we are [Fm]gambling are [C]frighteningly [Fm]high!
[Db]We must crush him com[Ab]pletely,
So [Gb7]like John be[Fm]fore him, this J[C]esus must [Fm]die.
For the [Fm]sake of the [C]nation, this Jesus must [Fm]die.

[ALL PRIESTS]
Must [Ab]die, must [Bb]die, this [Eb7]Jesus must [Ab]die.

[CAIAPHAS]
So [Fm]like John be[C]fore him, this Jesus must [Fm]die.

[ALL PRIESTS]
Must [Ab]die, must [Bb]die, this [C]Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must [Fm]die!
