Les Miserables - The runaway cart

^CCan this be true? I don't believe what I see! ^EmA man your age ^EmTo be as strong as you ^Amare... ^AA ^Abmemory stirs.. ^AbYou make me think of a ^Bman ^EFrom years ago ^EA man who broke his ^Emparole ^EmHe disappeared... ^GmForgive me, Sir, ^GmI would not dare!

^FmSay what you must, don't leave it there. High tempo

I have ^Emonly known one other Who can ^Em/Ddo what you have done He's a c^Em/C#onvict from the ^Em/Cchain gang He's been ^Bsus4/Cten years ^Bon the ^Emrun

But he ^Emcouldn't run forever We have ^Em/Dfound his hideaway And he's ^Em/C#just been re-^Em/Carrested And he ^Bsus4/Ccomes to ^Bcourt ^Emtoday.

But Of c^D7ourse he now de^Gnies it... You'd ex^Fpect that of a ^Ccon But he ^D7couldn't run fo^Grever, No, ^Fnot even Jean Val^B7jean!

^BbmYou say this man denies it all and gives no sign of understanding or ^Eb6/Brepentance? ^BbmYou say this man is going to trial And that's he's sure to be returned To serve his ^Eb/Bsentence? ^GbCome to that, can ^Fmyou be sure, That^Gb I am not your ^Amman?

I have ^Emknown the thief for ages Tracked him ^Em/Ddown through thick and thin And to ^Em/C#make the matter ^Em/Ccertain There's the ^Bsus4/Cbrand ^Bupon his ^Emskin

He will ^G/Dbend, he will ^Em/C#break, This time ^Cthere is ^Bno mis^Emtake.
