^FmValjean, at last, We ^Eb/Fsee each other plain `M'^Fmsieur le Mayor,' You'll ^Bb/Fwear a different ch^Fmain!

^FmBefore you say another word, Javert ^Eb/FBefore you chain me up like a slave again ^FmListen to me! There is something I must^Bb/F do. ^FmThis woman leaves behind a suffering child. ^Eb/FThere is none but me who can intercede, ^FmIn Mercy's name, three days are all I ^Bb/Fneed.

^AbThen I'll return, I pledge my word. Eb [JAVERT] Then I'll return... You must think me mad! ^GbI've hunted you across the years ^Dbsus4A man like you can never change ^DbA man such as ^Cmyou.

^FmBelieve of me what you will (Men like me can never change) ^Eb/FThere is a duty that I'm sworn to do (Men like you can never change) ^FmYou know nothing of my life (No,) ^Bb/FAll I did was steal some bread (24601) ^FmYou know nothing of the world (My duty's to the law - you have no rights) ^Eb/FYou would sooner see me dead (Come with me 24601) ^FmBut not before I see this justice (Now the wheel has turned around) ^Bb/Fdone (Jean Valjean is nothing now)

^FmI am warning you Javert (Dare you talk to me of crime) ^Eb/FI'm a stronger man by far (And the price you had to pay) ^FmThere is power in me yet (Every man is born in sin) ^Bb/FMy race is not yet run (Every man must choose his way) ^FmI am warning you Javert (You know nothing of Javert) ^Eb/FThere is nothing I won't dare (I was born inside a jail) ^FmIf I have to kill you here (I was born with scum like you) ^Bb/FI'll do what must be done! (I am from the gutter too!)

^Dm7And this I s^F/Cwear to you ton^Bbight There is no place f^Bb/Aor you to hide ^Gm7 Your child will l^Cive within my c^Fare Wherever you m^F/Eay hide awa^Dm7y And I will ^F/Craise her to the l^Bbmaj7ight. I swear to you^C, I will be th^Fere!
