Heaven on Their Minds

Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice

{guitar riff} G|----7-xx8-x5-x77|----7-xx8-x5-x77| repeat & 
              D|0-0-(let ring)--|0-0-(let ring)--| repeat 
 
{Use these suggested chord forms on the opening so that the chords and the "main riff" 
can be played by one person on one guitar at the same time. Let the chords ring.}  
(The very first D and G chords are mimicing VERY low voicings on Piano and used only once. 
                The rest are around the 5th fret to 7th fret. 
      The "®" shows notes used to play the riff at the same time)

         I can see where we all soon will be

         Jesus!   >>   >>   >>  {repetitive lead line begins (see ** below)}      
                  Dm      
         You've started to believe   
               Em      
         The things they say of you  
              F   
         You really do believe 
                G                 Dm 
         This talk of God is true 
 
         And all the good you've done 
         Will soon get swept away 
         You've begun to matter more 
         Than the things you say

            I remember when this whole thing began 
            No talk of God then - we called you a man 
            And believe me - my admiration for you hasn't died 
            But every word you say today 
            Gets twisted 'round some other way 
            And they'll hurt you if they'll think you've lied

            Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best 
            He'd have caused nobody harm 
            No one alarm! 
 
{back to 4/4} 
            Listen Jesus do you care for your race, 
            Can't you see we must keep in our place 
            We are occupied - Have you forgotten how put down we are? 
            I am frightened by the crowd 
            For we are getting much too loud 
            And they'll crush us if we go to far.
