Lyrics and Chords


[Jesus Christ Superstar]

Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
And now I understand you're God
At least that's what you've said

/ Em - C G / / Em Bm C G / CG AmG / C G Am7D7 / 

   So you are the Christ
   You're the great Jesus Christ
   Prove to me that you're divine
   Change my water into wine
   That's all you need do
   Then I'll know it's all true
   C'mon King of the Jews

   / G - - - / A7 - - - / D6 - D - / G - - - /
      / G - - - / A7 - - - / D6 D7 D6 D9 G - - - /

Jesus you just won't believe
The hit you've made around here
You are all we talk about 
The wonder of the year
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

/ Em - - - / C - G - / Em - - - / C - G - /
   / Em - Bm - C - G - / C G Am G C G Am7 - D9 - /

   So if you are the Christ
   Yes the great Jesus Christ
   Prove to me that you're no fool
   Walk across my swimming pool
   If you do that for me
   Then I'll let you go free
   C'mon King of the Jews

I only ask things I'd ask
Any superstar
What is it that you have got
That puts you where you are
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man

   So if you are the Christ 
   Yes the great Jesus Christ
   Feed my household with this bread
   You can do it on your head
   Or has something gone wrong
   Why do you take so long
   C'mon King of the Jews

Hey, aren't you scared of me Christ
Mister wonderful Christ
You're a joke, you're not the Lord
You're nothing but a fraud
Take him away, he's got nothing to say
Get out you King of the
Get out you King of the
Get out you King of the Jews
Get out you King of the Jews
Get out of my life
