Heaven on their Minds

Intro:
             Dm
My mind is clearer now –
      F           G          F
  at last all to well I can see
             G              Dm
    where we all soon will be.

          Dm
If you strip away  -
       F             G            F
  the myth from the man you will see
             G              Dm
    where we all soon will be.

Jesus!
                                Em
You’ve started to believe the things they say of you,
     F                      G                  Dm
You really do believe this talk of God is true.
                                   Em
And all the good you’ve done will soon get swept away,
 F                               G
You’ve begun to matter more than   the things you say.

Verse 1:
Dm                        F                  
  Listen, Jesus, I don’t like what I see,
Dm                       G
  All I ask is that you listen to me.
A#
  And remember –
C                               F          A
  I’ve been your right-hand man all along.

          Dm                   A#
You have set them all on fire,
                    F
They think they’ve found the new Messiah,
             Dm/A               Aaug  A       A#   Dm7
And they’ll hurt you when they find they’re wrong.

Verse 2:
Dm                       F
  I remember when this whole thing began,
Dm                         G
  No talk of God then, we called you a man,
A#
  And believe me –
C                        F           A
  My admiration for you hasn’t died.

           Dm                A#
But every word you say today,
              F
Gets twisted round some other way,
             Dm/A              Aaug A      A#   Dm
And they’ll hurt you if they think you’ve lied.

Break:
 A#             F
Nazareth, your famous son,
  Gm                   Dm
Should have stayed a great unknown,
 Gm              Dm/A         A                 Dm
Like his father carving wood,   he’d have made good –

 A#                 F
Tables, chairs and oaken chests
 Gm                Dm
Would have suited Jesus best,
 Gm                 Dm/A      A          Dm
He’d have caused nobody harm,   no-one alarm.

Verse 3:
Dm                       F
  Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race,
Dm                       G
  Don’t you see we must keep in our place,
A#
  We are occupied –
C                             F           A
  Have you forgotten how put down we are?

       Dm                     A#
I am frightened by the crowd,
            F
For we are getting much too loud,
              Dm/A          Aaug A   A#
And they’ll crush us if we go   too far,
       Dm7    A# Dm
If we go too faaaaar.

Verse 4:
Dm                       F
  Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give,
Dm                        G
  Please remember that I want us to live,
A#
  But it’s sad to see
C                            F           A
  Our chances weakening with every hour.

          Dm                  A#
All your followers are blind,
          F
Too much heaven on their mind,
          Dm          Aaug A     A#
It was beautiful but now   it’s sour,

Coda:
          Dm        A#7M  Dm
Yes, it’s all gone sour.
A#       Dm
Ah ah-ah-ah ah
A#       Dm
Ah ah-ah-ah ah...
