Who is this man, what sort of devil is he
-6 -6 -6 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7
To have me caught in a trap and choose to let me go free
<7 <7 <7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7
It was his hour at last to put a seal on my fate
<-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 8 -9
Wipe out the past and wash me clean off the slate
<-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 8 <8
All it would take was a flick of his knife
<-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 <-7 8 8 8 8 <-7
Vengeance was his and he gave me back my life
<8 <8 <8 8 8 8 <8 <8 <8 8
Damned if I’ll live in the debt of a thief
<8 <8 <8 8 8 8 <8 <8 <8 8
Damned if I’ll yield at the end of a chase
<8 <8 <8 8 8 8 <8 <8 <8 8
I am the law and the law is not mocked
<8 <8 <8 8 8 8 <8 <8 <8 8
I’ll spit his pity right back in his face
<-7 8 <8 <-9 <9 8 <-7 -7 <-7
There is nothing on earth that we share
<-7 8 <8 <-9 <9 8 <-7 -7 <-7
It is either Valjean or Javert
5 5 -6 -6 -7 -7 <-7 <-7 <5 <5 -6 -6 <-7 <-7 -7 -7
How can I now allow this man to hold dominion over me
-5 -5 -6 -6 -7 -7 -9 <8 -7
This desperate man whom I have hunted
-7 <-7 -7 7 -6 7 <-7 -7 7 -6
He gave me my life, he gave me freedom
-6 -6 -7 -7 8 8 -9 -9
I should have perished by his hand
6 6 8 8
It was his right
5 5 -6 -6 -7 -7 <-7 <-7
It was my right to die as well
5 5 6 6 7 7 -6 -6
Instead I live, but live in hell
<7 <7 <7 7 -6 <-5
And my thoughts fly apart
<7 <7 <7 7 -6 <-5
Can this man be believed
<-7 <-7 <-7 -7 7 -6 5
Shall his sins be forgiven
<-7 <-7 <-7 -7 7 <10
Shall his crimes be reprieved
5 5 -6 -6 -7 -7 <-7 <-7
And must I now begin to doubt
<5 <5 -6 -6 <-7 <-7 -7 -7
Who never doubted all these years
-5 -5 -6 -6 -7 -7 -9 <8 -7
My heart is stone and still it trembles
-7 <-7 -7 7 -6 7 <-7 -7 7 -6
The world I have known is lost in shadow
-6 -6 -7 -7 8 8 -9 -9
Is he from heaven or from hell
6 6 8 8
And does he know
5 5 -6 -6 -7 -7 <-7 <-7
That granting me my life today
5 5 6 6 7 7 -6 -6
This man has killed me even so
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
I am reaching but I fall
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
And the stars are black and cold
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
As I stare into the void
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
Of a world that cannot hold
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
I’ll escape now from that world
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
From the world of Jean Valjean
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 -7
There is nowhere I can turn
<7 -7 <-7 -7 <7 -7 <-10
There is no way to go on
