[Valjean]
C#Freedom is mine, the Bbmearth is still F#I feel the wind, I Gmbreathe again And the Dsky clears, Cthe world is waking FDrink from the pool, how clean the taste DmNever forgeGt the years, the Cwaste Nor forgive Bbthem, Afor what they've Dmdone GmThey are the guilty, Feveryone
The day begins And now let's see
EmWhat this Gmnew world Will do Cfor Fme.
[Employer]
GYou'll have to go I'll pay you off for the day
Collect your bits and pieces there
And be on your Eway. [Valjean] FYou've given me half
What the other men get This handful of tin Wouldn't buy my sweat. [Employer]
DYou broke the law It's there for people to see
Why should you get the same
As honest men like Bme? [Valjean] EmAnd now I know how freedom feels
The jailer always at your heels
It is the Claw AmThis piece of paper in my hand That makes me cursed throughout the Fland
It is the law
Like a Emcur I Dmwalk the Emstreet The Fdirt beneath their Bfeet.
[Bishop]
AmCome in, sir, for you are weary, AmAnd the night is cold out Cthere. CThough our lives are very Dmhumble, What we Ehave, we have to Amshare.
AmThere is wine here to revive you. AmThere is bread to make you Cstrong. CThere's a bed to rest till Dmmorning. Rest from Epain and rest from C#mwrong.
[Valjean]
C#mHe let me eat my fill, I had the lion's share. C#m/EThe silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned F#mIn all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair. G#And yet he trusted Dmme.
DmThe old fool trusted me, he'd done his bit of good. Dm/FI played the grateful serf and thanked him, like I should. GmBut when the house was still, I got up in the night, ATook the silver took my Bbflight!Bb/D

EmTell his reverence your story Let us Em/Dsee if he's impressed. You were Em/C#lodging here last night You were the Bsus4/Chonest Bbishop's Emguest.
EmAnd then, out of Christian goodness, When he Em/Dlearned about your plight, You mainEm/C#tain he made a Bsus4/Cpresent of this Bsilver. [BISHOP] That is Emright.

But my Dfriend you left so Gearly, surely Fsomething slipped your Cmind. You forDgot I gave these Galso, would you Fleave the best Bbehind?
EmSo Messieurs, you may release him, For this Em/Dman has spoken true. I comEm/C#mend you for your Em/Cduty, Now God's Bsus4/Bblessing Bgo with Eyou
AmBut remember this, my brother. AmSee in this some higher Cplan. CYou must use this precious Dmsilver To beEcome an honest Amman.
AmBy the witness of the martyrs, AmBy the Passion and the CBlood. CGod had raised you out of Dmdarkness, I have Ebought your soul for AGod.
