Herod’s song (midi)

Am F C

1. Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face,

Am F C

you’ve been getting quite a name all around the place,

Am Em F C

Healing cripples, raising from the dead,

F C F G - G7

and now I understand, you’re God, at least that’s what you’ve said.

C D7

So you are the Christ, you’re the great Jesus Christ,

G C

prove to me that you’re divine, change my water into wine!

D7

That’s all you need do, and I know it’s all true,

G C

c’mon King of the Jews.

Am F C

2. Jesus, you just won’t believe the hit you’ve made round here,

Am F C

you are all we talk about, the wonder of the year.

Am Em F C

Oh, what a pity, if it’s all a lie,

F C F G - G7

still I’m sure that you can rock the cynics if you try.

C D7

So you are the Christ, you’re the great Jesus Christ,

G C

prove to me that you’re no fool, walk across my swimming pool !

D7

If you do that for me, then I’ll let you go free,

G C

c’mon King of the Jews.

Am F C

3. I only ask things I’d ask any superstar,

Am F C

what is it that you have got that puts you where you are.

Am Em F C

I am waiting, I’m a captive fan,

F C F G - G7

I’m dying to be shown that you are not just any man.

C D7

So if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ,

G C

feed my household with this bread, you can do it on your head !

D7

Or has something gone wrong, why do you take so long,

G C

c’mon King of the Jews.

D7

Hey ! Aren’t you scared of me, Christ, Mr wonderful Christ,

G C

you’re a joke, you’re not the Lord, you’re nothing but a fraud.

D7

Take him away, he’s got nothing to say !

G

Get out, you King of the - , get out, you King of the - ,

C - G - C

get out you King of the Jews, get out of my life.
