It's All for the Best from the musical production "Godspell" (c) 1971 the Harold Square Music Company and Cadenza Music Corporation Tabbed by Caleb/Bigbro *note* This song needs two people. [Verse 1] (Jesus)

              C
When You feel sad or under a curse,

             D7
Your life is bad,

Your prospects are worse,

             G7
Your wife is cry-ing, sigh-ing

And your olive tree is dying.

C                        B7
Temples are greying and teeth are decaying

    D7                      G7
And creditors weighing your purse!

[Verse 2] (Jesus)

                   C
Your mood and your robe are both a deep blue.

             D7                 Dm7-5
You bet that Job had nothing on you.

                  F        F#dim C/G              Ab7
Don't forget that when you go to Heaven you'll be blessed,

D7        G7          C
Yes, it's all for the best.

[Verse 3] (second vocalist)

             C
Some men are born to live at ease,

Doing what they please, Richer than the bees are in honey,

D7
Never growing old, never feeling cold,

Pulling pots of gold from the air.

    G7
The best in ev'ry town,

Best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money,

C               B7
They can't take it with them, 

    D7           G7
But what do they care?

[Verse 4]

             C
They get the center of the meat,

Cushions on their seat, Houses on a street where it's sunny.

D7                 
Summers at sea, winters warm and free,

                       Dm7-5
All of this we get the rest, but,

F          F#dim
Who is the land for, 

    C/G         Ab7
The sun and the sand for?

    D7           G7           C    C7 
You guessed: it's all for the best.

[Verse 5]

               C
  Some men are born to live at ease,

(When You feel sad or under a curse)

C
Doing what they please, richer than the bees are in honey,

              D7
              Never growing old, never feeling cold,

(Your life is bad, your prospects are worse,) Pulling pots of gold from the air.

              G7
          The best in ev'ry town,

(Your wife is cry-ing) Best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money, (sigh-ing and your olive tree is dying.)

     C                       B7
They can't   take    it with them,

(Temples are greying and teeth are decaying)

     D7           G7
 But what do they care?

(And creditors weighing your purse!) [Verse 6]

                    C
 They    get   the  center of the meat,

(Your mood and your robe) Cushions on their seat, (Are both a deep blue) Houses on a street where it's sunny.

              D7                 
              Summers at sea, winters warm and free,

(Nothing on you.)

                   F          F#dim
          But,     who is the land for,

(Don't forget that when you go to)

     C/G              Ab7
 The sun  and  the    sand for?

(Heaven you'll be blessed)

    D7           G7           
You guessed: it's all for the-

( Yes, it's all for the-)

C                             A7             
All your wrongs will be redressed

   Yes, it's all for the-
