INTRO
B  A  E  (x4)


VERSE I
  B       A        E                       B    A     E   
I was the master's best friend, he was the only man I knew
         B      A     E              B         A     E
And it's been a tall harvest that he turned us all unto
       B        A          E             B       A      E
But my lips are sealed by history and my tale I cannot tell
   B       A       (E)           B        A      E
My name is Judas Escariot and my home address is hell


CHORUS
   B              A            E 
So baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
B         A            E
Don't you grieve after me
   B              A            E 
Oh baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
B         A            E
Don't you grieve after me
B                A           (E)
Baby don't you grieve for me when I'm here
          B          A           E
And don't grieve for me when I'm gone


VERSE II
It was two hours gone midnight when he called me to his side
He said "Hey Jude I need you boy, I need you to take a ride
I want you to tell those guys downtown that my time's overdue
But wait a minute Jude, don't stick around 'cause nobody's gonna kiss you"


CHORUS


VERSE III
Now you've got all the silver and no forgiveness in your hearts
And I got 20 feet of rope to end just when your guessing game starts
I've got endless books to write you but my tale I cannot tell
'Cause the only way you'll ever hear me is if you're living in the same hell


CHORUS
So baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
Don't you grieve after me
Oh baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
Don't you grieve after me
Yeah baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
Don't you grieve after me
Yeah baby don't you grieve after me, no no no
Don't you grieve after me
Yeah baby don't you grieve for me when I'm here
And don't grieve for me when I'm gone
