I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM (Mary Magdalene)
Note: The A9 in the last measure of each verse is actually an "A9sus (no G)" Try fitting THAT over the word "else". Ah, limitations, limitations. The chord is actually very easy to play if you use some untraditional fingering/positioning across the progression of that line of the verse.

I ONLY WANT TO SAY (GETHSEMANE) (Jesus)
(IMHO this is probably THE most powerful piece in the entire show. A true perfect blend of Lloyd-Webber and Rice at their finest! This is a difficult tune to put into ASCII, mainly because the bulk of the piece is arranged orchestral, and even on piano it's hard to capture the magic of this work... here goes nothing... ad lib where deemed appropriate)

[Dm]Listen Jesus to the [F]warning I give [Dm]Please remember that I [G]want us to live [Bb]But it's sad to see our [C]chances weakening with [F]every hour All your [Dm]followers are blind [B] Too much [F]heaven on their minds It was [Dm/A]beautiful but [A+]now i[A]t's [Bb]sour Yes it's [Dm]all gone [Bbmaj7]sour... #------------------------------------------------------------------------
