I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM (Mary Magdalene)
Jesus Christ Superstar
Andrew Lloyd Webber-music
Tim Rice-lyrics
From the 1970 album with Murray Head as Judas
and Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) as Jesus
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.
