Chords for Steve Balsamo - Gethsemane - Laurence Olivier Awards 1997

Now, there's no particular connection with that previous award as we savour now a moment from Jesus Christ Superstar as Stephen, Steve Balsamo sings Gethsemane. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I only want to say
_ [Ebm] If [Gb] there [Ebm] is a way
_ [Ab] _ [Abm] Take this [Db] cup away from [F] me
For I don't want [Bbm] to taste its poison
[Gb] _ Feel it burn [Bbm]
me
I have changed, [C] I'm not as sure [F] as when [Ab] we started
[Bbm] _ Then I was inspired
[Ebm] _ [Gb] Now I'm [C] sad [Gb] and _ [Ab] tired
[C] Listen, [Db] surely I've exceeded
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm]
Expectations, tried to [Gb] bring it
Seems like [Bbm] thirty
Could you [F] ask as much from [Bbm] any other man?
_ _ _ _ But [Gb]
if [F] I die
[Bbm] See [Ab] the saga through
And do [Gb] the things you ask of me
[Bbm] Let [Ab] them hate me, hit [Gb] me, hurt me, [F] nail me to their [Bb] tree
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my God
Wanna _ _ _ see, I'd wanna see my _ _ _ [Bbm] God
[Ab] Why [Gb] I should [F] _ [Bbm] die
Would I [Ab] be more noticed [Gb] than I ever [F] was before?
[Bbm] Would the [Ab] things I've said and [Gb] done matter [F] anymore?
[Bb] I'd have to know, I'd have to know _ _ my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see _ [Bb] _
_ my Lord
[C] If I die, what would be my [C] reward? _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] _
_ [Cm] Can you [Bb] show me now [Ab] that I would not be [G] killed in vain?
[Cm] Show me [Bb] just a little [Ab] of your omnipresent [G]
brain
[Cm] Show me [Bb] there's a reason [Ab] for you wanting me [G] to die
Oh, [Cm] you're far too keen on [Bb] where and how
[Ab] But not so hot [G] on why
[Cm] _ _ [C] Alright, _ [G] I'll die
[Cm] _ [C] Just [Ab] watch me [C] _
[Cm] die
[C] See _ [Ab] how [G] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] I_
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then I [Ab] _ [Cm] was inspired _
[Fm] Now [Ab] _ I'm [D] sad [Fm] and [Bb] tired
After all I've [Eb] tried for three years
[G] _ Seems like [Cm] ninety
_ Why then [Ab] am I scared to [Cm] finish
What I started, [D] what you [G] started
I'll start [Cm] it, God I _ [Ab] will
_ [Cm] _ _
_ [Fm] But [Ab] you hold [D] it _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Nail me to [Cm] your cross
_ _ [Ab] _ _
Lead me, _ [Cm] kill me
_ [G] Take me now
_ _ Before I change [Ab]
my mind
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] I change [G]
my _ [Ab] mind
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Ah, fantastic, of course I could do that
If I just had the talent
But there it is, you don't often see Jesus Christ in a dinner
