[Valjean]
C# Bbm
Freedom is mine, the earth is still
F# Gm
I feel the wind, I breathe again
D C
And the sky clears, the world is waking
F
Drink from the pool, how clean the taste
Dm G C
Never forget the years, the waste
Bb A Dm
Nor forgive them, for what they've done
Gm F
They are the guilty, everyone
The day begins
And now let's see
Em Gm
What this new world
C F
Will do for me.
[Employer]
G
You'll have to go
I'll pay you off for the day
Collect your bits and pieces there
E
And be on your way.
[Valjean]
F
You've given me half
What the other men get
This handful of tin
Wouldn't buy my sweat.
[Employer]
D
You broke the law
It's there for people to see
Why should you get the same
B
As honest men like me?
[Valjean]
Em
And now I know how freedom feels
The jailer always at your heels
C
It is the law
Am
This piece of paper in my hand
F
That makes me cursed throughout the land
It is the law
Em
Like a cur
Dm Em
I walk the street
F B
The dirt beneath their feet.
[Bishop]
Am
Come in, sir, for you are weary,
Am C
And the night is cold out there.
C Dm
Though our lives are very humble,
E Am
What we have, we have to share.
Am
There is wine here to revive you.
Am C
There is bread to make you strong.
C 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, I had the lion's share.
C#m/E
The silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned
F#m
In all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair.
G# Dm
And yet he trusted me.
Dm
The old fool trusted me, he'd done his bit of good.
Dm/F
I played the grateful serf and thanked him, like I should.
Gm
But when the house was still, I got up in the night,
A Bb Bb/D
Took the silver took my flight!

[Constables]
Em
Tell his reverence your story
Em/D
Let us see if he's impressed.
Em/C#
You were lodging here last night
Bsus4/C B Em
You were the honest bishop's guest.
Em
And then, out of Christian goodness,
Em/D
When he learned about your plight,
Em/C# Bsus4/C B Em
You maintain he made a present of this silver. [BISHOP] That is right.
N.C.
D G
But my friend you left so early,
F C
surely something slipped your mind.
D G
You forgot I gave these also,
F B
would you leave the best behind?
Em
So Messieurs, you may release him,
Em/D
For this man has spoken true.
Em/C# Em/C
I commend you for your duty,
Bsus4/B B E
Now God's blessing go with you
Am
But remember this, my brother.
Am C
See in this some higher plan.
C Dm
You must use this precious silver
E Am
To become an honest man.
Am
By the witness of the martyrs,
Am C
By the Passion and the Blood.
C Dm
God had raised you out of darkness,
E A
I have bought your soul for God.
