Heaven On Their Minds (From "Jesus Christ Superstar" Soundtrack) Chords

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
My mind is clearer now. _ _ _
[Dm] _ At last, [D] all too well, I can see
where we _ all soon will be. _ _
_ _ _ If you strip away [Dm] _ the myth _ from the man,
you will see [D] where we _ all soon will be. _ _
_ _ _ Jesus! _ _ _
_ You've started to believe the things they say of you.
[Dm] You really do believe this talk of God is true. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ And all the good you've done will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more than the things you say. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Listen, Jesus, [F] I don't like what I see.
[Dm] _ All I ask is [A] that you listen to me.
[Bb] _ And remember, [C] I've been your right-hand [F] man all along.
[A] _ _ _ [Dm] You have set them all on [Bb] fire.
_ They [F] think they've found the new Messiah.
_ _ [Dm] And they'll hurt you [A] when they find [Bb] they're wrong.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ I [F] remember when this whole thing began.
[Dm] No talk of God, then [G] we called you a man.
[Bb] _ And believe me, [C] my admiration [F] for you hasn't [A] died.
But [F] they're another way.
_ [Dm] And they'll hurt you if they [Bb] think you've lied.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] Nazareth, your [Gm] famous son, should have stayed a great unknown.
Like his [A] father carving wood, he'd [Dm] have made good.
[Bb]
Tables, chairs, and [Gm] oaken chests would have [Dm] suited Jesus [Gm] best.
He'd have [A] caused no body harm, [D] no one alarm.
_ [Dm] Listen, [F] Jesus, do you care for your [Dm] race?
Don't you see [G] we must keep in our [Bb] place?
[F] We are [C] occupied.
Have you forgotten [F] how put down? _
[A] _ _ _ [D] I [Dm] am frightened by the [Bb] crowd.
_ [F] For we are getting much too loud.
[Bb] _ [Dm] And they'll crush [A] us if we go too [Bb] _ far.
If [Dm] we go [Bb] too far.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
Listen, [F] Jesus, to the warning I give.
[Dm] _ Please [G] remember that I want us to [Bb] live.
But it's sad [C] to see our chances [F] weakening with every year.
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ I was [Bb] blind.
_ _ [F] Too much heaven on their minds.
_ [D] It was [A] beautiful, but [Bb] now it's sour.
[Dm] Yes, it's all [Bb] the worse.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Listen, Jesus, [Dm] to the warning I give.
[Bb] Please remember [Dm] that I want us to live.
[Bb] So come on, come on.
He [Dm] won't listen to [Bb] me.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Dm] Come on, listen.
Listen [Bb]
to me.
Come on, [Dm] _ _ [Bb] to me.
