King Herod's Song

• F#m

(slowly) F#m        F#m/E        D                A 
Herod:   Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face 
------   F#m                 F#m/E           D              A  
         You've been getting    quite a name all around the place. 
         F#m     C#m7     D                A 
         Healing cripples raising from the dead 
             D     A/C# Bm           A         D            A/C#        Bm7    E7 
         And now I understand you're God... at least that's what you've said 
 
(up-tempo)  A                             B7 
         So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ 
         E6                        E       A (stop) 
         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 
         E6               E   A      F7 
         Come on, 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? 
         Gm   Dm          Eb            Bb    
         I am waiting yes I'm a captive fan 
             Eb    Bb/D  Cm         Bb      Eb       Bb/D Cm7   F7 
         I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any  man 
  
               Bb                         C7      
         So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ 
         F6                                 Bb 
         Feed my household with this bread, you can do it - on you head! 
         Or has something gone wrong?  Why do you take so long? 
         Come on, King of the Jews!

         G6                            G     C 
         You're a joke, you're not the lord! You're nothing but a fraud  
         C                        D7 
         Take him away - he's got nothing to say  
         G6                         G6(stop) 
         Get out you King of the...         Get out!
