Les Miserables - Confrontation

^FmValjean, at last, ^Fm/D#We see each other plain ^Fm/C#M'sieur le Mayor, ^C7You'll wear a different chain!

^FmBefore you say another word, Javert ^Fm/D#Before you chain me up like a slave again ^Fm/C#Listen to me! There is something I must ^C7do. ^FmThis woman leaves behind a suffering child. ^Fm/D#There is none but me who can intercede, ^Fm/C#In Mercy's name, three days are all I ne^C7ed. ^G#Then I'll return, I pledge my word. ^D#Then I'll return

You must think me mad! ^F# I've hunted you across the years ^C# A man like you can never change A man such as y^C7ou.

N.C.

Valjean (Top Line) Javert (Bottom Line)

^FmBelieve of me what you will Men like me can never change

^Fm/D#There is a duty that I'm sworn to do Men like you can never change

^Fm/C#You know nothing of my life No.............. 24601..... ^C7All I did was steal some bread .............

^FmYou know nothing of the world My duty's to the law - you have no rights

^Fm/D#You would sooner see me dead Come with me 24601

^Fm/C#But not before I see this justice Now the wheel has turned around

^C7done............. Jean Valjean is nothing now

^FmI am warning you Javert Dare you talk to me of crime

^Fm/D#I'm a stronger man by far And the price you had to pay

^Fm/C#There is power in me yet Every man is born in sin

My ^C7race is not yet run Every man must choose his way

^FmI am warning you Javert You know nothing of Javert

^Fm/D#There is nothing I won't dare I was born inside a jail

^Fm/C#If I have to kill you here I was born with scum like you

I'll ^C7do what must be done! I am from the gutter too!

And this I s^C7wear to you to^Bbnight Javert:

There ^Amis no place for you to ^Gmhide Valjean: Your child will ^Clive within my c^Fare

Wherever ^Emyou may hide a^Dmway Valjean:

And I will ^Craise her to the ^Bblight. Both: I swear to you, ^C I will be ^Fthere!
