Les Miserables - The bishop

Come in sir for you are ^Amweary And the night is cold out ^Cthere Though our lives are very ^Dmhumble What we ^Ehave we have to ^Amshare There is wine here to ^Amrevive you There is bread to make you ^Cstrong There's a bed to rest till ^Dmmorning Rest from ^Epain and rest from ^C#mwrong

^C#mHe let me eat my fill ^C#mI had the lion's share ^EThe silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned ^F#mHe knows those nineteen years that lifetime of despair ^G#And yet he trusted me^{D#m D#m}The old fool trusted me

^FI played the grateful serf and thanked him like I should ^G#mBut when the house was still ^G#mI got up in the night ^A#Took the silver Took my flight!!

^EmTell his reverence your story Let us see if he's im^Gpressed You were lodging there last ^Dnight You were the honest Bishop's ^Emguest. And then, out of Christian ^Emgoodness When he learned about your ^Gplight You maintain he made a ^Dpresent of this silver -

That is ^Emright. But my ^Dfriend you left so ^Gearly Surely ^G7something slipped your ^Cmind You ^Dforgot I gave these ^Galso Would you ^Amleave the best ^Bbehind? So ^EmMonsieurs you may release him For this ^Gman has spoken true I ^Amcommend you for your ^Dduty May God's blessing go with ^Emyou. But remember this, my ^Ambrother See in this some higher ^Cplan You must use this precious ^Dmsilver To ^Ebecome an honest ^Amman By the witness of the ^Ammartyrs By the Passion and the ^CBlood God has raised you out of ^Dmdarkness I have ^Esaved your soul for ^AmGod!
