[The Bishop]
Am
Come in sir for you are weary
C
And the night is cold out there
Dm
Though our lives are very humble
E Am
What we have we have to share
Am
There is wine here to revive you
C
There is bread to make you strong
Dm
There's a bed to rest till morning
E C#m
Rest from pain and rest from wrong
[Valjean]
C#m
He let me eat my fill
C#m
I had the lion's share
E
The silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned
F#m
He knows those nineteen years that lifetime of despair
G# D#m
And yet he trusted me
D#m
The old fool trusted me
He'd done his bit of good
F
I played the grateful serf and thanked him like I should
G#m
But when the house was still
G#m
I got up in the night
A#
Took the silver
Took my flight!!
[Instrumental]
Dm C F G A
Em Am
[Constable 1 & 2]
Em
Tell his reverence your story
G
Let us see if he's impressed
D
You were lodging there last night
Em
You were the honest Bishop's guest.
Em
And then, out of Christian goodness
G
When he learned about your plight
D
You maintain he made a present of this silver -
[The Bishop]
Em
That is right.
D G
But my friend you left so early
G7 C
Surely something slipped your mind
D G
You forgot I gave these also
Am B
Would you leave the best behind?
Em
So Monsieurs you may release him
G
For this man has spoken true
Am D
I commend you for your duty
Em
May God's blessing go with you.
Am
But remember this, my brother
C
See in this some higher plan
Dm
You must use this precious silver
E Am
To become an honest man
Am
By the witness of the martyrs
C
By the Passion and the Blood
Dm
God has raised you out of darkness
E Am
I have saved your soul for God!
