^Dm7At ^Em7Not-^Dm7re ^Em7Dame, ^Dm7the ^Em7sec-^Fmaj7tions ^G7are ^Am7pre-^Bdim7pared. [Feuilly] ^Dm7At ^Em7Rue ^Dm7du ^Em7Bac ^Dm7they're ^Em7strai^Fmaj7ning ^G7at ^Am7the ^Bdim7leash.

[Courfeyrac]

^Bdim7Students, workers, ev'^Emryone,^G There's a river on the ^Emrun, ^Bdim7Like the flowing of a ^Emtide,^G Paris coming to our ^Cside.

[Enjolras]

^C The time is ^Dm/Cnear. ^Em So near it's ^Dmstirring the blood in their ^Emveins. ^Em And yet, be^Am/Eware, ^Em don't let the ^Am/Ewine go to your ^Ebrains.

^Am For the army we fight is a dangerous ^F/Afoe. ^Am With the men and the arms we never can ^F/Amatch. ^Bm It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like ^G/Bflies. ^Bm But the National Guard will be harder to ^G/Bcatch!

We need a ^Esign to ^E/D#rally the ^E/C#people, to ^E/Bcall the to ^Aarms, to ^F#mbring them in ^Eline. ^B Marius, you're late!

[Joly]

^BWhat's wrong today? You ^Elook as if you've seen a ghost [Grantaire] Some ^B/F#wine and say what's ^B/D#going o^F#n. ^F#/G

[Marius]

^G#m A ghost you say, a ghost maybe, She ^B/F#was just like a ghost to ^Eme, ^BOne minute there, then ^F#7she was ^Bgone.^G#m ^C#

[Grantaire]

^F#m I am a gog, I am a ^Esus4ghast, Is ^A/EMarius in love at ^Dlast? I've ^Anever seen him '^A/C#ooh and ^Eaah'^C#/E#. ^F#m You talk of battles to be won And here he ^A/Ecomes, like Don Ju^Dan. It is ^Abetter than an ^E7oper^Aa!

[Instrumental] F# D#m B F# [Enjolras]

^D#mIt is time for us ^F#/D#all to decide who we ^F#/C#are. ^Bmaj7Do we fight for the right to a night at the ^F#opera now? ^D#mHave you asked of your^F#/D#selves what's the price you might ^F#/C#pay? ^Bmaj7Is this simply a game for rich young ^F#boys to play? The colours of the ^G#mworld are changing day by ^C#day.

^F#Red, the blood of angry ^D#m/F#men. ^B/F#Black, the dark of ages ^F#past. ^F#Red, a world about to ^D#m/F#dawn, ^BBlack, the night that ends at ^F#last.

[Marius]

^D#mHad you been there to^F#/D#night you might know how it ^F#/C#feels ^Bmaj7To be struck to the bone in a moment of ^F#breathless delight. ^D#mHad you been there to^F#/D#night, you might also have ^F#/C#known ^Bmaj7How the world can be changed in just one ^F#burst of light, And what was right seems ^G#mwrong, And ^G#what was wrong seems ^C#right.

[Grantaire] [Marius]

^F#Red! I feel my sould on ^D#m/F#fire, ^B/F#Black! My world is she's not ther^F#e.

[Students] [Marius]

^F#Red! The colour of de^D#m/F#sire, ^BBlack! The colour of des^F#pair.

[Enjolras]

^BMarius you're no longer a child. I ^B/D#do not doubt you mean it ^Ewell, But ^B/F#now there is a ^B/D#higher ^F#call^F#/G. ^G#mWho cares about your lonely soul, We ^B/D#strive towards a larger ^Egoal, ^B/F#Our little lives don't ^F#7count at ^B/F#all.

[Students]

^F#Red, the blood of angry ^D#m/F#men. ^B/F#Black, the dark of ages ^F#past. ^F#Red, a world about to ^D#m/F#dawn. ^BBlack, the night that ends at ^F#last.
