Elliman's calming verses and Head's powerful ones.
All Judas Verses and Mary Verses are alike chordwise.

LYRICS
**********
MARY MAGDALENE:
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to problems that upset you
Oh, don't you know
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
APOSTLES' WIVES:
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes
MARY MAGDALENE:
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Oh, then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight
APOSTLES' WIVES:
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes
JUDAS:
Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair!
MARY MAGDALENE:
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to problems that upset you
Oh, don't you know
APOSTLES' WIVES and MARY:
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes
JESUS:
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, and you'll be sorry when I'm gone
MARY MAGDALENE:
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Oh, then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight
APOSTLES' WIVES:
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes
MARY MAGDALENE:
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
