[Bamatabois]
Here's something new. I think I'll give it a try. Ddim
Come closer you! I like to see what I buy... Edim
The usual price, for just one slice of your pie. Ebdim
[Fantine]
N.C.I don't want you. No, no m'sieur, let me go.
[Bamatabois]
N.C.Is this a trick? I won't pay more.
[Fantine]
N.CNo, not at all.
[Bamatabois]
N.C.You've got some nerve, you little whore,
You've got some gall. Dm
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grDmocer
The customer sees what he gets in adGvance
It's not for the whore to say "yes sir" or "Bbno sir"
Not for the Gmharlot to pick or to Achoose
Or to lead me Da dance!
[Fantine]
F#m I'll kill you you bastard, try any of Bthat!
D Even a Bmwhore who has gone to the C#bad
Won't be had by a F#mrat!
[Bamatabois]
F#mBy Christ, you'll pay for what you've done
This rat will make you bleed you'll see!
I guarantee, I'll make Dyou suffer
For this disturbance of the Apeace A7
For this insult to life anDd property!
[Fantine]
DmI beg you, don't report me Asir
I'll do what ever you may Bmwant...
[Bamatabois]
Make your exEcuse to the police!

[Javert]
Tell me Emquickly what's the story
Who saw Dwhat and why and where?
Let him C#mgive a full discription
Let him Banswer to JaEmvert!
In this Emnest of whores and vipers
Let one Dspeak who saw it all.
Who laid C#mhands on this good man here?
What's the Bsubstance of this Embrawl?
[Bamatabois]
JaDvert, would you beGlieve it
I was cFrossing from the Cpark
When this pDrostitute atGtacked me
You can G7see she left her Bmark.
[Javert]
She will Emanswer for her actions
When you Dmake a full report.
You may C#mrest assured, M'sieur
That she will Banswer to the Emcourt.
[Fantine]
There's a Dchild who sorely Gneeds me
Please M'Fsieur, she's but "that Chigh"
Holy DGod, is there no Gmercy?
If I Fgo to jail she'll Bdie!
[Javert]
I have Emheard such protestation
Every Dday for twenty years.
Lets have C#mno more explanations,
CSave your Bbreath and save your Emtears
Em"Honest work. Just reward. That's the way to please the Lord."
[Valjean]
Fm A moment of your time, Javert, I do believe this woman's tale.
[Javert]
But, M'sieur DbMayor! Bbm
[Valjean]
BbmYou've done your duty, let her be
She needs a doctor, not a Gbjail
[Javert]
Gb But, M'sieur Mayor!
[Fantine]
Can this Fmbe?
[Valjean]
Where Gbwill she Fmend-
This Ebmchild without a Amfriend?
I've seen your face Embefore
Am Show me some way to Emhelp you
F How have you come to Cgrief
In Fsuch a place as Cthis?
[Fantine]
Fm M'sieur, don't mock me now, I Ebpray
Abm It's hard enough I've lost my Ebpride! Gm
Cm You let your foreman send me aGmway
Yes you were thFmere and turned aGside
Am I never did noEm wrong!
[Valjean]
Is it true, what I've done? Am
[Fantine]
My daughter's close to Emdying...
[Valjean]
To an innocent soul?
[Fantine]
F If there's a God aCbove.
[Valjean]
If I had only known then.
[Fantine]
He'd Flet me die insCtead.
[Valjean]
In Bbhis name, my Amtask has just beGmgun.
EbI will see it Dmdone.
[Javert]
But, M'sieur Mayor!
[Valjean]
EbI will see it Dmdone!
[Javert]
But, M'sieur Mayor!
[Valjean]
EbI will see it Fdone!
