3-1 The Last Supper
----------------------- Thursday night
G D/F# Em G/D
Apostles: Look at all my trials and tribulations
--------- C G/B Am D
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
G B7 Em G7/D
Don't disturb me now I can see the answers
C D D7 G D7
Till this evening, in this morning life is fine.
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died
Gm
Jesus: The end ...

If you would remember me when you eat and drink
Gm7 F Eb Cm
I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes
Gm7 Eb9 Eb/F Gm7 D7
I must be out of my head!
Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing
Ten minutes after I'm dead!

-----------------------
Bbm Bbm/Ab Bbm/Gb Bbm/F
Jesus: I only want to say
------ Ebm Ebm/Db Ebm/C Ebm/Bb
If there is a way
Ab Ab7/Gb Db/F F Bbm
Take this cup away from me for I don't want to taste -
It's poison
Gb Bbm/F
Feel it burn me, I have changed
C7 F F+ F7 F
I'm not as sure as when we started.
Bbm Bbm/Ab Bbm/Gb Bbm/F
Then I was inspired
Ebm Ebm/Db Ebm/C Ebm/Bb
Now I'm sad and tired
Ab Ab7/Gb Db/F F
Listen surely I've exceeded expectations
Bbm Gb
Tried for three years seems like thirty
Bbm/F F Bbm
Could you ask as much from any other man?
Bbm Ab Gb F
But if I die
Bbm Ab Gb F7
See the Saga through and do the things you ask of me
Bbm Ab Gb F
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
Bb7aug9 (Hendrix chord) Eb
I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God
Bbm7 Eb ...
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God
Why I should die?
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my lord
C7aug9 (Hendrix chord) F
But if I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my lord
Cm Bb Ab G
Why____________ should I die?
Ah oh, Why should I die?
Can't you show me now that I wouldn't be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far to keen on where and how and not so hot on why
Al________right I'll_______ die!
Ah! Just, just watch me die!
See-he-he how, see how I die!
Oh, yea, See how I die!

Scared to finish what I started, what you started - I didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison nail me to the cross and break me,
Ab Cm/G D/G Ab
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now - before I change my mind!

Prove to me that you're divine -- change my water into wine
A B7
That's all you need do and I'll know it's all true
E6 E A
Come on, King of the Jews!
Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round 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
So you are the Christ you're 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
