Chords for Ruthie Henshall - Fantine's Arrest (Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert - Royal Albert Hall)

_ _ _ _ _ _ I smell women, smell them in the air.
Think I'll drop me anchor in that harbour over there.
[Ab] Lovely ladies, smell them through the smoke.
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke.
[C] Even so, girls need a little slope.
[Fm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ Pretty hair, _ what pretty [Eb] locks you've got there.
_ [D] _ _
What luck you've got. _ _
It's worth a spunty, my dear. _ _
[G] _ I'll take the lot.
Don't touch me, leave me alone.
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ I'll give you all [G] of ten _ [F] francs.
Just think [G] of that.
It [Gm] pays a debt.
Just think of [E] that.
What can I do?
It pays a debt.
Ten francs may save [Eb] my bull-coaser.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [C] I'll make you eat your dinner if it comes.
I'll _ _ _ _ make you [Ab] eat your dinner _ if it comes. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Cm] Maybe. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] Come on, Captain.
You can wear your shoes.
Don't it make a change to have a [A] girl who can't refuse?
_ [F] _ Easy [Bb] money, _ [F] lying on her [Bb] bed.
Just as well [Bb] they never see the hate [F] that's in your [G] head.
_ [A] Don't they,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ don't _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
they?
[F] Here's something new.
I think I'll give it a try.
[D] _ _
Come closer, you.
I like to see what I _ [G] buy.
_ The usual price for just one _ slice of your pie. _ _ _
_ I don't want [Dm] you.
No, no, monsieur, let me go.
Is this a trick?
I [D] won't pay more.
No, not at all.
You've got some nerve, you little whore.
You've got some gore. _ _
_ [Dm] It's the same with a tart as it is with [D] a grocer.
_ _ The customer sees [G] what he gets in advance.
_ _ It's not for the hoarder to say [Bb] yes or no, sir.
It's not for [G] the harlot to pick [A] or to choose or to lead me a dance.
_ _ [E] How can you bastard try any of that?
_ [C] _ Even [Am] a whore who has gone [B] to the bad won't be had by [Em] a rat.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [B] _ [Em] Tell me quickly what's the story?
[D] Who saw what and why and where?
[Db] Let him give a full description.
[B] Let him answer to [Em] Javert.
In [E] this nest of whores and [D] vipers, let one speak.
Who saw it all?
[Dbm] Who laid hands on this [C] woodman here?
[B] What's the substance of this [Em] brawl?
[D] Javert, would you [G] believe it?
[F] I was crossing from [C] the park
[D] when this prostitute [G] attacked me.
You can [F] see she left a [B] mark. _
She [Em] will answer for her actions when [D] you make a full report.
You may [Db] rest assured, monsieur, [C] she [B] will answer to that [Em] court.
There's a [D] child who sorely [G] needs me.
[F] Please, monsieur, she's but that [C] high.
[D] Holy God, is there no [G] mercy?
If [F] I go to jail, [B] she'll die.
_ _ _ _ I [Em] have heard such _ protestations [D] every day for twenty [G] years.
Let's have [Dbm] no more _
[C] explanations.
[B] Save your breath and [Em] save your tears.
_ Honest work, just reward.
That's the way [B] to please [E] the Lord.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ For a moment of your time, Javert, I do believe [Bb] this woman's tale.
What, [Db] monsieur, may I? _
[Bbm] _ You've [Cm] done your duty, Heather [Bbm] B.
She is a doctor, [Gm] not a jail.
[Gb] What, monsieur, may I?
[Fm] Can they speak?
_ [Gb] Well, will _ [Fm] she in?
_ [Ebm] This child would not.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've seen your face _
[E] _ before.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Show me some way. _ _
[Em] _ You, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ how have you come to [C] breathe in [G] such a place [C] as _ _ _ _ this? _
_ _ [Fm] _ Monsieur, don't mock me now, [Eb] I pray. _ _ _
[Abm] _ It's hard enough I've lost [Eb] my _ _ _ pride. _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ Let your father _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ be.
Yes, you [Fm] were there _ and _ turned [G] aside. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ I never _ _ did [Em] no wrong.
_ Is it true what I've done?
[Am] _ My daughter's blood _ [Em] _ _ I've shed.
To an innocence, sir.
[F] _ If there's a _ _ [C] God above,
And I am none then,
[D] He'd let me [Dm] _ die [C] _ instead. _ _
_ _ [Bb] In his name, my [Am] task has just [G] begun.
_ [Eb] _
I will see [Dm] it done.
What, monsieur, [Eb] may I?
I will see [Dm] it done.
What, monsieur, [Eb] may I?
I will see [F] it done. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Can this be true?
I don't believe what I [E] see.
A man your age to be as strong as you are.
_ _ A [F] memory _ stirs.
_ _ You make me think of a man.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
From years ago,
_ A man who broke his parole. _
He disappeared.
[N] _ _ _ _
Forgive me, sir, I would not dare.
Say what you must.
Don't leave it there.
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ I have only known one other
Who [D] can do what you have done.
He's [C] a convict from the chain gang.
He's [B] been ten years [Em] on the run.
But he couldn't run forever.
We have found his hideaway.
[C] And he's just been _ rearrested.
[B] And he comes to court [Em] today.
[D] Well, of course, he now [G] denies it.
[F] You'd expect that of [C] a town.
[D] But he couldn't run [G] forever, no.
[F] Not [F] even Jean _
[B] _ Valjean. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [N] _ _ _
