[Note]
Parts of this song aren't really applicable to a "chords" tab, where in the original many instruments
play different and dissonant melodies over another and there's no clear vocal lines either.
Here are 3 variations to play the sections with the maddb9 chords:

Gbmaddb9
Then you are a king?[JESUS]
It's you that say I am. I look for truth and find that I get damned.
[PILATE]
Gmaddb9
But what is truth? Is truth a changing law? We both have truths. Are mine the same as yours?[MOB]
Crucify him! Crucify him!
[PILATE]
Abmaddb9
What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?[MOB]
We have no king but Caesar!

What is this new respect for Caesar?'Till now this has been noticeably lacking.
Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?
You Jews produce Messiahs by the sackfull.
