                                                  Ddim
Here's something new. I think I'll give it a try.

                                             Edim
Come closer you! I like to see what I buy...

                                                 Ebdim
The usual price, for just one slice of your pie.
[Fantine] N.C. I don't want you. No, no m'sieur, let me go. [Bamatabois] N.C. Is this a trick? I won't pay more. [Fantine] N.C No, not at all. [Bamatabois] N.C. You've got some nerve, you little whore,
                       Dm
You've got some gall.

                                            Dm
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer

                                    G
The customer sees what he gets in advance

                                            Bb
It's not for the whore to say "yes sir" or "no sir"

            Gm                   A
Not for the harlot to pick or to choose

  Even a whore who has gone to the bad

                  F#m
Won't be had by a rat!
[Bamatabois]
F#m
By Christ, you'll pay for what you've done
This rat will make you bleed you'll see!
                       D
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer

                            A      A7
For this disturbance of the peace

                          D
For this insult to life and property!
[Fantine]
Dm                         A
I beg you, don't report me sir

                          Bm
I'll do what ever you may want...
[Bamatabois]
            E
Make your excuse to the police!
[Interlude] Em D C#m C B [Javert]

Javert, would you believe it

       F                C
I was crossing from the park

           D           G
When this prostitute attacked me

        G7               B
You can see she left her mark.
[Javert]
         Em
She will answer for her actions

         D
When you make a full report.

        C#m
You may rest assured, M'sieur

              B             Em
That she will answer to the court.
[Fantine]

   A moment of your time, Javert, I do believe this woman's tale.
[Javert]
             Db     Bbm
But, M'sieur Mayor!
[Valjean]
Bbm
You've done your duty, let her be

                          Gb
She needs a doctor, not a jail
[Javert]
Gb
   But, M'sieur Mayor!
[Fantine]
         Fm
Can this be?
[Valjean]
      Gb       Fm
Where will she end-

     Ebm             Am
This child without a friend?

   You let your foreman send me away

               Fm              G
Yes you were there and turned aside

Am               Em
   I never did no wrong!
[Valjean]
                            Am
Is it true, what I've done?
[Fantine]
                       Em
My daughter's close to dying...
[Valjean] To an innocent soul? [Fantine]
F                   C
  If there's a God above.
[Valjean] If I had only known then. [Fantine]

He'd let me die instead.
[Valjean]
