[JUDAS]
          Gm7 Gm
My God! I saw him.

                Gm7      Gm
He looked three-quarters dead!

    Gm7       Gm           Gm7     Gm
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.

    Gm7         Gm               Gm7       Gm
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,

Gm7            Gm          Gm7   Gm
And I know who everybody's gonna blame.

  Gm7              Gm            Gm7     Gm
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.

    Eb                          F7
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.

D7      G7   C7   F7   Gm7
Don't believe our good.

        D7   G7  C7   F7    Gm7
And I'd save him if I could.
[ANNAS]
Gm         D            D7        Gm
Cut the confessions, forget the excuses.

  Bb         C                F7            Bb
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.

Gm              D             D7          Gm
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.

    Bb          C               Dm               Gm
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse.
[CAIAPHAS]
Gm            D                D7        Gm
What you have done will be the saving of everyone.

Bb          C           F7       Bb
You'll be remembered forever for this.

    Gm       D                 D7            Gm
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.

Bb            C         D          Gm
  Pretty good wages for one little kiss.
[JUDAS]
Eb                       Bb
Christ, I know you can't hear me,

    Ab     Gm           D         Eb
But I only did what you wanted me to.

Eb                       Bb
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,

    Ab          Gm               D         Gm
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.

Gm          D              D7       Gm
I have been spattered with innocent blood.

Bb         C                   F             Bb
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.

Gm          D              D7       Gm
I have been spattered with innocent blood.

Bb         C                   D                           D7            Gm
I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud!

G Cadd9 G                  Cadd9 G
I        don't know how to love him.

Cadd9              G  D        Dsus4
  I don't know why he moves me.

G          D G     D
  He's a man. He's just a man.

Bm    Em          Bm Em                  C G       Am G C
  He is not a king.    He's just the same    as anyone    I know.

G C G Am7 G
           He scares me so,

C               B        Em                                         C
  When he's cold and dead. Will he let me be? Does he love - does he love me too?

                 G   F
Does he care for me?

Gm
My mind is in darkness.

Gm
God, God I'm sick. I've been used,

Gm
And you knew all the time.

Gm
God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime.

Gm
You're so bloody, Christ.
