Misc Musicals – Les Misérables - I Have A Crime To Declare (Guitar)

Bb7b5
     Monsieur le Mayor, I have a crime to declare!

E/D
    I have disgraced the uniform that I wear

Abmaj7/G
        I've done you wrong, let no forgiveness be shown

Bb7b5
     I've been as hard on every rogue I have known

     Dm
I mistook you for a convict,

       Dm/C
I have made a false report,

      Bbmaj7
Now I learn they caught the culprit,

      Asus    A        Dm
He's about to face the court.

       C7               F
And of course, he now denies it,

        Eb             Bb
You'd expect that of a con,

       C7       C7/E   F
But he couldn't run forever,

        Eb           A
No, not even Jean Valjean!

    Dm       Em/D          Dm
You say this man denies it all

             Em/D         Dm            Bb       F/A
And gives no sign of understanding or repentance?

Gm             Am/G            Gm
  You say this man is going to trial

              Am/G         Gm7                 Ebmaj7
And that he's sure to be returned to serve his sentence?

        Dm/A     Eb      Dm
He will pay, and so must I

      Eb                  A
Press charges against me, sir.

         Dm
You have only done your duty,

       Dm/C
It's a minor sin at most.

       Bb7b5           Bbmaj7b5
All of us have made misjudgments

         Asus       A       Dm
You'll return, sir, to your post.

A/D    Dm A/D    Dm
Must I do as you say?

A/D       Dm   A/D Dm
It's your duty to obey.
