Work Song (Les Miserables)

 5    -6    5    -6    5     -6   7   <7  7  -6
Look down, look down, don’t look them in the eye
 5    -6    5    -6    5     <-5  5  5  <-3 5 -2
Look down, look down, you’re here until you die
 8  -10 8   -10     8   -10 11 <11  11 -10
The sun is strong, it’s hot as hell below
 5    -6    5    -6      5     <-5     5   <-3 5 -2
Look down, look down, there’s twenty years to  go
 5    -6  5   -6      5   -6 7   <7  7    -6
I’ve done no wrong, sweet Jesus hear my prayer
 5    -6    5    -6     5   <-5 5  5 <-3  5 -2
Look down, look down, sweet Jesus doesn’t care
<-5 <7  <-5    <7  <-5 <-7  8    <9    8  <-7
I know she’ll wait, I know that she’ll be true
 <5  <-7    <5  <-7     <5    <7  <5 <5 <5  <5
Look down, look down, they’ve all forgotten you
<11 <9 <9   <9   <9   <11  <9  <9  11   9   9  
When I get free, you won’t see me here for dust
 5    -6    5    -6     5    -6   7   <7  7  -6
Look down, look down, don’t look them in the eye
 8   8    8   8    8  <-9  8   8  <-7 8  
How long, oh Lord, before you let me die
 5    -6    5    -6     5    -6  7  <7 7  -6
Look down, look down, you’ll always be a slave
 5    -6    5    -6     5    <-5  5   5  <-3  5 -2
Look down, look down, you’re standing in your grave
-10   9   9  -10 9 9  -10 9 -10 9 9
Now bring me prisoner  2  4  6  0 1
-10   9   9  -10 9   9    9 -10    9 9
Your time is up and your parole’s begun
-10  9    9   -10    9
You know what that means
 8   8   <-7  <7  <-7
Yes, it means I’m free
X   -10  9    9  -10  9    9  9  -10 9  9    9
No, it means you get your yellow ticket of leave
-10  9  9  -10
You are a thief
9   9   9 -10  9    9
I stole a loaf of bread
-10   9    9  -10
You robbed a house
9   9   9 <-7 <7 <-7
I broke a windowpane
<7  <7 <7    <7   <-5   <7  <-7  8   
My sister’s child was close to death
<-7 <-7 <-7  <-7 8
And we were starving
<-7  <7   <-7   8  <9
You will starve again
8 <-7  <-7  <-7  <-7 <-7 <7  <-7 8  <9
Unless you learn the meaning of the law
<7 <7  <7   <7 <7  <7  <7    <7 -6    <7
I know the meaning of those nineteen years
<7 <7   7  -6   7
A slave of the law
-10   9     9  -10   9   9
Five years for what you did
-10  9    9 -10   9   -10  9   9
The rest because you tried to run
-10  9 9 -10 9 9
Yes, 2 4  6  0 1

My name is Jean Valjean
-10  9  -10 9
And I’m Javert
-10 9  9 -10  9   9
Do not forget my name
-10 9  9 -10  9   8 8 <-7 <7 <-7
Do not forget me, 2 4  6  0   1
 5    -6    5    -6     5     -6 7  <7 7  -6
Look down, look down, you’ll always be a slave

Look down, look down, you’re standing in your grave
