Chords for Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane (1973)

[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I only want to say, _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Db] _ if there [Cm] is a [Bb] way, _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ take this cup away [Db] from me, _ [F] _
_ _ for I don't want to
taste [Bb] its [Gb] poison, _ _ _ _ feel [Bb] it burn me, I have _ [C] changed, _ _ _ I'm not as sure [F] _ _
as [D] when we started,
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ then [Gb] I _ [F] was _ inspired, [Ebm] _ _ _ now _ _ _ [Cm] I'm sad [Bbm]
and tired, [Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] listen, _
_ _ [Db] _ surely [Gb] _ _
I've [F] exceeded _ _ _ _ _ expectations,
[Bb] been tried for three [Gb] years, _ seems like thirty, _ [Bb] _ _ _ could you ask [F] as much _ from _ any [Bb] other _ _ _ man, _ _
_ but [Ab] _ _ _ if [Gb] _ _ I [F] _ die, _ [Bbm] see this saga [Ab] through, _ [Gb] and do the things you [F] asked of me, _
[Bbm] _ let them hate
me, [Ab] hit me, [Gb] hurt me, _ [F] nail me to their tree, _ [Bbm] I'd want to know, I'd want to know my God,
want to know, I'd want to know my [Bb] God, want to see, I'd want to see my God, want to see,
I'd want to see [Eb] my God, [Bbm] why _ [Ab] _ _ I [Gb] _ should _ _ [F] die, _
_ [Bbm] would I be [Ab] more noticed [Gb] than I ever was [F] before, _
_ _ [Bbm] with the things [Ab] I said and done, _ [Gb] _ matter [F] any more, _ [Bbm] I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord,
have to _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ see, I'd have to see my Lord, have to see, I'd have to see my [C] Lord,
if I die what will be my reward, if I die what will be my reward,
Have to know, I'd have to know my Lord.
Have to know, I'd have to know my Lord.
_ _ [Bb] Why _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Cm] should _ I [Bb] die?
Oh, _ [Ab] why should I [G] die? _
_ [Cm] Can you show [Bb] me now that I would [Ab] not be killed [G] in vain?
_ [Cm] _ Show me [Bb] just a little [Ab] of your _ _ [G] omnipresent brain.
[C] _ Show me there's a reason [Ab] for your wanting [G] me to die.
[Cm] _ Fight cocaine [Bb] on wet hat, _ [Ab] _ but not so [C] hot on wire.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Oh, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] just watch me die.
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] See _
_ [Ab] how, _ see how [G] I die.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Oh, [Ab] _ _ _ [G] just watch me die.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Then _ _ _ [Ab] I was _ _ _ [G] _
inspired.
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _
Now [Eb] _ _ [D] I'm _ _ sad _ _ _ [Bb] and tired.
_ _ _ _ _ After [Eb] all, _ _ _ _ _ I've tried [G] for three years. _ _ _
Seems like [Cm] _ ninety. _ _ _
_ Why [Ab] then am I scared to finish _ _ what [G] _
_ _ _ I started? _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ What [G] you started, _ _ _ I didn't start [Cm] it.
_ _ _ God, _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ thy will is _ [Fm] hard, _ _ _ but you [Db] _ hold _ _ every [Ab] _ card.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] I will [Eb] drink your _ cup. _
