[Combeferre]
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7   Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 G7  Am7 Bdim7
At  Not-re  Dame, the sec-tions are pre-pared.

[Feuilly]
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7     Em7  Fmaj7 G7  Am7 Bdim7
At  Rue du  Bac they're straining  at  the leash.

[Courfeyrac]
Bdim7                 Em    G                       Em
Students, workers, ev'ryone, There's a river on the run,
Bdim7                 Em   G                    C
Like the flowing of a tide, Paris coming to our side.

[Enjolras]
C             Dm/C  Em             Dm                          Em
  The time is near.   So near it's stirring the blood in their veins.
Em           Am/E  Em              Am/E            E
  And yet, beware,   don't let the wine go to your brains.

Am                                    F/A
 For the army we fight is a dangerous foe.
Am                                      F/A
 With the men and the arms we never can match.
Bm                                        G/B
 It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies.
Bm                                        G/B
 But the National Guard will be harder to catch!

           E       E/D#      E/C#
 We need a sign to rally the people,
    E/B         A        F#m           E
 to call the to arms, to bring them in line.
B
 Marius, you're late!

[Joly]
B                       E
What's wrong today? You look as if you've seen a ghost

[Grantaire]
     B/F#                B/D#   F# F#/G
Some wine and say what's going on.

[Marius]
G#m
 A ghost you say, a ghost maybe,
    B/F#                     E
She was just like a ghost to me,
B                      F#7     B    G#m C#
One minute there, then she was gone.

[Grantaire]
F#m                 Esus4
 I am a gog, I am a ghast,
   A/E               D
Is Marius in love at last?
     A               A/C#    E   C#/E#
I've never seen him 'ooh and aah'.
F#m
 You talk of battles to be won
            A/E               D
And here he comes, like Don Juan.
      A              E7  A
It is better than an opera!

[Instrumental]
F#  D#m  B  F#

[Enjolras]
D#m               F#/D#                F#/C#
It is time for us all to decide who we are.
Bmaj7                                       F#
Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?
D#m                   F#/D#                             F#/C#
Have you asked of yourselves what's the price you might pay?
Bmaj7                                F#
Is this simply a game for rich young boys to play?
                   G#m                       C#
The colours of the world are changing day by day.

F#                      D#m/F#
Red, the blood of angry men.
B/F#                    F#
Black, the dark of ages past.
F#                    D#m/F#
Red, a world about to dawn,
B                             F#
Black, the night that ends at last.

[Marius]
D#m                  F#/D#                       F#/C#
Had you been there tonight you might know how it feels
Bmaj7                                   F#
To be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight.
D#m                  F#/D#                      F#/C#
Had you been there tonight, you might also have known
Bmaj7                                    F#
How the world can be changed in just one burst of light,
                         G#m        G#                   C#
And what was right seems wrong, And what was wrong seems right.

[Grantaire]           [Marius]
F#                                       D#m/F#
Red!                  I feel my sould on fire,
B/F#                                            F#
Black!                My world is she's not there.

[Students]            [Marius]
F#                                    D#m/F#
Red!                  The colour of desire,
B                                      F#
Black!                The colour of despair.

[Enjolras]
B
Marius you're no longer a child.
  B/D#                     E
I do not doubt you mean it well,
    B/F#           B/D#   F#  F#/G
But now there is a higher call.
G#m
Who cares about your lonely soul,
   B/D#                    E
We strive towards a larger goal,
B/F#                   F#7      B/F#
Our little lives don't count at all.
