Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say) - Jesus Christ Superstar (1970 Version) Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ [Fm] _ only want [Gb] to say, _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
if there is [Bb] a way, _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
take this cup [Db] away _ from me.
_ [F] For I don't want to _ taste its poison, [Gb] _ _ _ feel it [Db]
burn [F] me.
_ I have _ changed, _ [C] I'm not as sure _ [F] as when we started. _
_ [Bbm] _ _ Then I _
[Gb] was _ [F] inspired, _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ now _ I'm [C] _
sad [Bbm] and tired.
_ [Ab] _
_ Listen, _ surely [Db] _
I've _ _ exceeded _ [F] _ _
_ _ expectations.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
Tried for three [Gb] years, _ seems like thirty.
_ [F] _ Could you ask as much from any [Bbm] other _ man? _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Db] But in _ _ [Gb] my _ _
[F] eyes I _ [Bbm] see the saga [Ab] through.
I [Gb] do the things you [F] ask of me.
_ [Bbm] Let them hate [Ab] me, hit me, hurt [Gb] me, nail me [F] to their tree.
_ [Bb] I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my God.
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my God.
Wanna see, I'd wanna see my God.
Wanna see, I'd wanna [Eb] see my [Bb] God.
[Bbm] Why _ [Ab] _ I _ [Gb] should _
_ [F] _ die?
_ [Bbm] Would I be [Ab] more noticed [Gb] than I ever [F] was before?
_ [Bb] Would the [Ab] things I've said and [Gb] done matter _ [F] anymore?
_ _ [Bb] I'd have to know, I'd have to know [Eb] my [Bb] Lord. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
Have to see, I'd have to see [Eb] my [Bb] Lord. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [C] _
If I die, what will be my [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] reward?
[Cm] Have to know, have to _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ know my _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Lord.
Why _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
should [G] I die?
_ _ [C] Can you show me [Bb] now that I [Ab] would not be killed [G] in vain?
_ [C] Show me just [Bb] a little of [Ab] your _ _ [G] omnipresent _ blame.
[C] Show me [Bb] there's a reason _ [Ab] for your wanting me [G] to die.
_ [C] You're far too keen [Bb] on war, _ _ [Ab] I'm not so [G] far from war.
_ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ Alright, [Ab] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ just [Ab] _ _
watch [G] me die.
_ [Cm] _ _
See [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ how [D] I die, _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ yeah, _ [Ab] _ see how [G] I die.
_ [Cm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Then _ _ [Gm] you'll _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Cm] know _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ I'm [D] sad and _ [C] tired. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ After _ [Ab] all [Eb] _ I've tried for three _ [G] years, _ _ seems like ninety.
[Cm] _ _
Why _ then am [Ab]
I _ _ scared to _ finish [Cm] _ _ [G] _ what I started?
_ [D] _ _ What you _ started, [G] _ _ _ I didn't start it.
[Cm] _ _ _
[Eb] God, thy will [Ab] is _ _ _ [Gm] hard, _ [Cm] _ [Fm] but _ you _ [Ab] hold _ _
_ [D] every card.
[Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ I [D] will [Bbm] drink _ [Eb] your cup _ _ of poison.
_ [G] _
_ _ Nail me to your _ _ [Cm] cross and break me.
[Ab] _ _ _ Bleed me, beat me, _ [Cm] _ _ kill me, take _ [D] me now.
_ _ _ [G] Before I change [Ab] my _ mind. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
