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 D5 F5/D Took the silver took my flight! Instrumental: Am/D Bdim/D Ab/D Bb/D C/D Db/D Eb/D F/D Em Em/D E/C# Esus2/C Bsus4 B Em CONSTABLES: Em Tell his reverence your story Em/D Let us see if he's impressed. Em/C# You were lodging here last night Esus2/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# Esus2/C B You maintain he made a present of this silver. BISHOP: That is Em 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, Esus2/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.
