Chords

This is hopefully an accurate version of Javert's song Stars from the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables. I find it best to play along to the performance just to get the timings to be honest. For the Intro given in the 25th Anniversary performance just pluck E four times. [Verse]
E   E/D#           C#m     C#m7/B
There, out in the darkness

            A     A/G#
A fugitive running

            B
Fallen from God

             E   E/D#
Fallen from grace

            C#m    C#m7/B
God be my witness

              A     A/G#
I never shall yield

                     B
Till we come face to face

                     C#m C#m7/B
Till we come face to face

                       F#m   F#m/E
He knows his way in the dark

                       G#m
Mine is the way of the Law

                          A
And those who follow the path of the righteous

                   E E7
Shall have their reward

            Am
And if they fall

           D7
As Lucifer fell

    G
The flame

    B
The sword!
[Verse 2]
E     E/D#
Stars

        C#m       C#m7/B
In your multitudes

             A      A/G#
Scarce to be counted

            B
Filling the darkness

               E     E/D#
With order and light

            C#m      C#m7/B
You are the sentinels

           A      A/G#
Silent and sure

                     B
Keeping watch in the night

                     C#m     C#m7/B
Keeping watch in the night

                           F#m   F#m/E
You know your place in the sky

                              G#m
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
A
Returns and returns
[Bridge]
                  E E7
And is always the same

           Am              D7
And if you fall as Lucifer fell

    G       B
You fall in flame!

               E               B
And so it must be and so it is written

       Bm             A
On the doorway to paradise

               Am                   E
That those who falter and those who fall

     F#      B
Must pay the price!
[Instrumental] (Key Change!) G G/F# Em Em [Verse]
                C    C/B
Lord let me find him

           D       D7
That I may see him

            G    G/F#
Safe behind bars

       Em
I will never rest

     C
Till then

       D
This I swear

                    G   G/F#   Em   G
This I swear by the stars-----------
