BISHOP:
A minorAm
Come in, sir, for you are weary,
A minorAm            C majorC
And the night is cold out there.
C majorC             DmDm
Though our lives are very humble,
    E MajorE        A minorAm
What we have, we have to share.

A minorAm
There is wine here to revive you.
A minorAm             C majorC
There is bread to make you strong.
C majorC             DmDm
There's a bed to rest till morning.
     E MajorE         C# minorC#m
Rest from pain and rest from wrong.

VALJEAN:
C# minorC#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# minorF#m
In all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair.
G#G#         DmDm
And yet he trusted me.

DmDm
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.
G minorGm
But when the house was still, I got up in the night,
A augmentedA            D5D5   F5/D
Took the silver took my flight!

CONSTABLES:
E minorEm
Tell his reverence your story
    Em/DEm/D
Let us see if he's impressed.
     Em/C#
You were lodging here last night
       Esus2/C BB    E minorEm
You were the honest bishop's guest.

E minorEm
And then, out of Christian goodness,
    Em/DEm/D
When he learned about your plight,
    Em/C#     Esus2/C     BB
You maintain he made a present of this silver.  BISHOP: That is
E minorEm
right.

N.C. D MajorD         G+G
But my friend you left so early,
    FF           C majorC
surely something slipped your mind.
    D MajorD        G+G
You forgot I gave these also,
     FF       BB
would you leave the best behind?

E minorEm
So Messieurs, you may release him,
     Em/DEm/D
For this man has spoken true.
   Em/C#       Em/C
I commend you for your duty,
     Esus2/B BB    E MajorE
Now God's blessing go with you

A minorAm
But remember this, my brother.

A minorAm           C majorC
See in this some higher plan.
C majorC             DmDm
You must use this precious silver
   E MajorE       A minorAm
To become an honest man.

A minorAm
By the witness of the martyrs,
A minorAm           C majorC
By the Passion and the Blood.
C majorC             DmDm
God had raised you out of darkness,
    E MajorE          A augmentedA
I have bought your soul for God.
