Valjean; Javert

 5 -6    5   -6   5  -6   7   <7 7    -6

Valjean, at last, we see each other plain

 5  -6   5   -6      5    <-5  5  5  <-3   5 -2

Monsieur le Maire, you’ll wear a different chain

-10 9   9  -10  9 9 9  -10    9  9

Before you say another word, Javert

-10 9   9   -10  9  9   9   9  -10   9 9

Before you chain me up like a slave again

-10 9  9  -10   9   9    9   9   <-7  <7  <-7

Listen to me, there is something  I  must do

-10   9 9    -10   9  9  9  -10  9     9

This woman leaves behind a suffering child

 -10  9  -10   9  -10 9  9   -10 9 9  

There is none but me who can intercede

9  -10 9   -10     8    8    8  <-7 <7 <-7

In mercy’s name, three days are all I need

 <-7  <-7 <-7 <-7  <-5  <7 <-7 8

Then I’ll return, I pledge my word

<-7  <-7  <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7   <-7  8  <8

Then I’ll return, you must think me mad

<-7  <-7 <-7 <-7  <7 <-7 8   <8

I’ve hunted  you across the years

<7   <7  <7  <7  <7 <-7  <7

Men like you can never change

<7 <7  7   -6  7

A man such as you

 9 -10  9  9  -10   9   9 

Believe of me what you will

<7   7   -6  <7  7 -6   <7

Men like me can never change

 -10  9  9 -10 9 9    9    -10   9 9

There is a duty that I’ve sworn to do

<-7  <7   7  <-7 <7 7   <-7

Men like you can never change

 8  <-7   <7  8  <-7 <7  8

You know nothing of  my life

8    8   8   <-7 <7 <-7      

No, two four six oh one

<-7 <7 7  <-7  <-7   7    <-7

All I did was steal some bread

-10 9  9  -10 9   9 

My duty’s to the law

<7   7    -6 <7  7   -6   <7

You know nothing of the world

-10  9   9   -10

You have no rights

<-7  <7   7 <-7  <7  7  <-7

You would sooner see me dead

-10   9   9   -10  9   -10  9   9

Come with me, two four six, oh one

 9  -10 9 -10  8  8   8   <-7 <7  <-7  

But not before I see this justice done

 8  <-7  <7    8   <-7    <7 8

Now the wheel has turned around

<-7   <7 7   <-7  <7 7  <-7

Jean Valjean is nothing now

-10 -10 -10 -10 -10  -10 -10

 I  am  warning you, Javert

 <7   7   -6   <7 7  -6  <7

Dare you speak to me of crime

-10 -10 -10 -10  -10 -10 -10

I’m  a  stronger man by  far

<-7 <7    7   <-7 <7  7  <-7

And the price you had to pay

-10  -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 -10

There is power   in  me  yet

8 <-7 <7  8  <-7  <7  8

Every man is born in sin

-10 <11  -10 -10 <-9 -10 <11

My  race is  not yet   run

<-7 <7 7  <-7    <7    7  <-7

Every man must choose his way

8 8   8  8    8    X  X

I am warning you, Javert

<7   7    -6 <7  7   X  X

You know nothing of Javert

  8   8   8  8   8   8    8 

There is nothing I won’t dare

<-7 <7   7   <-7 <7 7 <-7

 I  was born inside a jail

8  8  8   8   8    8   8

If I have to kill you here

8 <-7  <7   8   <-7   <7   8

I was born with scum like you

 8   <-9  8    8   <-7  8

I’ll do  what must be  done

<-7 <7  7   <-7  <7 7  <-7

 I  am from the gutter too

-7   -7  -7 <-7  -7  7   -7 -6

And this I swear to you tonight

 -6   -6 -6  -6   -6  -6  -6  -6

There is no place for you to hide

<-7   <-7  <-7  <-7   -7 7  8  -7 7 -6

Your child will live within my  care

-7 -7 -7  -7  -7  -7  -7 -7

Wherever you may hide away

 8  8  8    -9    8  <-7 -7   -6

And I will raise her to  the light

-7 -7   -7 -7  -7  7   -6  -6

I swear to you, I will be there
