[Valjean]
C#Freedom is mine, the Bbmearth is still
F#I feel the wind, I Gmbreathe again
And the Dsky clears, Cthe world is waking
FDrink from the pool, how clean the taste
DmNever forgeGt the years, the Cwaste
Nor forgive Bbthem, Afor what they've Dmdone
GmThey are the guilty, Feveryone
The day begins
And now let's see
EmWhat this Gmnew world
Will do Cfor Fme.
[Employer]
GYou'll have to go
I'll pay you off for the day
Collect your bits and pieces there
And be on your Eway.
[Valjean]
FYou've given me half
What the other men get
This handful of tin
Wouldn't buy my sweat.
[Employer]
DYou broke the law
It's there for people to see
Why should you get the same
As honest men like Bme?
[Valjean]
EmAnd now I know how freedom feels
The jailer always at your heels
It is the Claw
AmThis piece of paper in my hand
That makes me cursed throughout the Fland
It is the law
Like a Emcur
I Dmwalk the Emstreet
The Fdirt beneath their Bfeet.
[Bishop]
AmCome  in, sir, for you are weary,
AmAnd the night is cold out Cthere.
CThough our lives are very Dmhumble,
What we Ehave, we have to Amshare.
AmThere is wine here to revive you.
AmThere is bread to make you Cstrong.
CThere's a bed to rest till Dmmorning.
Rest from Epain and rest from C#mwrong.
[Valjean]
C#mHe let me eat my fill, I had the lion's share.
C#m/EThe silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned
F#mIn all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair.
G#And yet he trusted Dmme.
DmThe old fool trusted me, he'd done his bit of good.
Dm/FI played the grateful serf and thanked him, like I should.
GmBut when the house was still, I got up in the night,
ATook the silver took my Bbflight!Bb/D
