Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Good Cai[C#dim] aphas th[C#m]e council
wait[C#dim]s for you[A]
[C#m]The Ph[C#dim]arisees and Priests are[C#m]
here [C#dim]for you[A][C#m]
[C#dim]Ah gentle[Em] men,
[Edim]you know why we are [Em]here[Bb][Em]
[Edim]We've not much time and quit[Em]e
a problem [Bb]here[Em][Bb]
(Outside)
Hosan[Em]na,[Bb][Edim]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Superstar
Listen to that [A]howling mob
[Em]of blockheads in [A]the street
A [Em]trick or two [A]with lepers and
[Em]the whole town's on [A]its feet
He is [D#]dan [A]gerous
(Outside)

[Verse 3]
Jesus Christ [A]Superstar,
tell us that you're who they [D#]say you are
He is [A]dangerous,
that [A#]man i[F#]s in t[B]own right now
To [G#]whip up some support,
[C#]a rabb[Bb]le rousing mis s[D#m]ion
That [E]I think we [B]must [D#]abort,
[Em]he is da[D#]n ge[A]rous
(Outside)

[Verse 4]
Jesus Christ [A]Superstar
He is [D#]dan [A]gerous
[Em]Look Caiaphas,
they 're right outside our yard

[Verse 5]
Quick Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard
[Em]No wait, we need a more perman
[G]ent solu[Em]tion to our [A]problem
[Em]What then to [B]do about
Jesus of Naz[Em]areth
Mir[G]acle [A]wonder man, her[D]o of foo[G]ls?
No [Em]riots, no [B]army, no fighting,
no [Em]slo gans

[Verse 6]
[G]One thing [A]I'll say for Him, [B]Jesus is [Em]cool
We dare not leave [B]Him to
His own [Em]devices
His [G]half- wit[A]ted fans will
get [D]out of con[G]trol
[Em]How can we stop Him?
[B]His glamor

[Verse 7]
in[Em]creases by
[G]leaps [A]every minute
He's [B]top of the [Em]poll,
[C]I see bad things a[G]rising
[F]The crowd crown [Em]Him king
which the [B]Romans would [C]ban
I see blood and destruc[G]tion,
our [F]elimina[Em]tion be[B]cause of one [Em]man

[Verse 8]
[Em]Blood and [B]destruction
because of one [Em]man
Be[G]cause, [A]because, be[D]cause of one [G]man
Our [Em]elimina[B]tion because of one [Em]man
Be[G]cause, [A]because, be[B]cause of one,
'cause of one, 'cause of one [Em]man

[Verse 9]
[Em]What then to [B]do about
this Jesus [Em]mania?
[G]How do [A]we deal with the
car[D]penter [G]king?[D]
[Em]Where do [B]we start with a man
who is big[Em]ger
[G]Than John [A]was when John did
his [B]Baptism [Em]thin[C]g?

[Verse 10]
Fools, you [C]have no percep[G]tion
[F]The stakes we [Em]are gambling
[B]are frighteningly [C]high
We must crush Him com[G]pletely
So like [Em]John [F]before [Em]Him,
this [B]Jesus must [Em]die

[Verse 11]
For [Em]the sake of the na[B]tion
this Jesus must [Em]die
Must [G]die, [A]must die, this Je[D]sus [G]must die
So [Em]like John [B]before Him,
this Jesus must [Em]die
Must [G]die, [A]must die, [B]this Jesus must
Jesus must, Jesus must die
