[Intro]
Eb/Db Bb/F Eb/Db Dbmaj7 Dbmaj7-5
Bamatabois:
Eb/Db
Here's something new, I think I'll give it a try
Eb/Db
Come closer you, I like to see what I buy!
Bb/F
The usual price, for just one slice of your pie
Fantine:
Eb/Db
I don't want you, no, no, M'sieur, let me go
Bamatabois:
Eb/Db
Is this a trick? I won't pay more!
Fantine:
Eb/Db
No, not at all
Bamatabois:
Eb/Db
You've got some nerve, you little whore
Eb/Db
You've got some gall
Dbmaj7
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
Dbmaj7
The customer sees what he gets in advance
Dbmaj7
It's not for the whore to say 'yes sir' or 'no sir'
Dbmaj7
It's not for the harlot to pick and to choose
Dbmaj7
Or lead me to a dance!
Fantine:
Dbmaj7
I'll kill you, you bastard, try any of that!
G/D Em/C#
Even a whore who has gone to the bad
C B Em
Won't be had by a rat!
N.C.

[Verse]
Javert:
B Em
Tell me quickly what's the story
Em/D
Who saw what and why and where?
Em/C# Em/C
Let him give a full description
Bsus4 B Em
Let him answer to Javert!
Em
In this nest of whores and vipers
Em/D
Let one speak who saw it all
Em/C# Em/C
Who laid hands on this good man here?
Bsus4 B Em
What's the substance of this brawl?
[Bridge]
D7 G
Javert, would you believe it?
F C
I was crossing from the park
D7 G
When this prostitute attacked me
F B7
You can see she left her mark
[Verse]
Em
She will answer for her actions
Em/D
When you make a full report
Em/C# Em/C
You may rest assured, M'sieur,
Bsus4 B Em
That she will answer to the court.
[Bridge]
D7 G
There's a child who sorely needs me
F C
Please M'sieur, she's but that high
D7 G
Holy God, is there no mercy?
F B7
If I go to jail she'll die!
[Verse]
Em
I have heard such protestations
Em/D
Every day for twenty years
Em/C# Em/C
Let's have no more explainations
Bsus4 B Em
Save your breath, save your tears
G/D Em/C#
Honest work, just reward,
C B Em
That's the way to please the Lord.
[Interlude]
Fm/C Gm7/D
A moment of your time, Javert
Fm/C Gm7/D Fm/C
I do believe this woman's tale
Dbmaj7
But M'sieur Mayor!
Bbm
You've done your duty
Eb6/Bb
Let her be
Bbm Cm7 Bbm
She needs a doctor, not a jail.
Gb
But M'sieur Mayor!
Fm
Can this be?
Gb Fm
Where will she end -

This child without a friend?

Show me some way to help you

How have you come to grief
Gsus4 G C
In such a place as this?
Fm Eb/G
M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
Abm Eb/Bb
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
Cm Gm/Bb
You let your foreman send me away
Fm/Ab Gsus4 G
Yes, you were there, and turned aside
[C-Part]
Am Em
I never did no wrong
Em
Is it true, what I have done?
Am Em
My daughter's close to dying
Em
To an innocent soul?
F C
If there's a God above
C
Had I only known then...
Gsus4 C
He'd let me die instead
[Outro]
Bb Am7 Gm Eb
In His name my task has just begun
Dm7
I will take her to the hospital
Eb
But M'sieur Mayor!
Dm7 Eb Dm7
Eb F
I will see it done!
