Les Misérables - Abc Cafe - Red And Black Chords

            Dm  Em
The time is near...
Em              Dm                          Em
So near, it′s stirring the blood in their veins!
           Dm
And yet beware...
Em               Am             E
  Don't let the wine go to your brains!
 
Am                                    Em
  For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
Am                                            Em
  With the men and the arms that we never can match.
Bm                                            G
  Oh, it's easy to sit here and swat ′em like flies,
Bm                                         G
  But the national guard will be harder to catch.
 
G           E
  We need a sign
E
To rally the people,
E
To call them to arms,
E                E
To bring them in line!
 
B
  Marius, you′re late.
             E
What's wrong today?
                             B
You look as if you′ve seen a ghost.
     B                         F#
Some wine and say what's going on!
G#m                     G#m      B
  A ghost you say... a ghost maybe.
                             E
She was just like a ghost to me.
    B                 F#       B
One minute there, and she was gone!
F#m
   I am agog!
        A/E
I am aghast!
             A/E      D
Is Marius in love at last?
D        A               A/C#      E   E E/F
 I have never heard him ′ooh' and ′aah.'
F#m
   You talk of battles to be won,
A/E                     A/E    D
 And here he comes like Don Ju-an.
D      A/E           E   A
 It's better than an opera!
 
F# D#m B F#
 
D#m
  It is time for us all
          F#
To decide who we are.
B
  Do we fight for the right
                  F#
To a night at the opera now?
 
 
D#m
  Have you asked of yourselves
                         F#
What′s the price you might pay?
B
 Is it simply a game
               A#m
For rich young boys to play?
    G#m
The colors of the world
    G#7             C#
Are changing day by day.
 
 
F#                       D#m
Red - the blood of angry men!
B                        F#
Black - the dark of ages past!
F#                     D#m
Red - a world about to dawn!
B                              F#
Black - the night that ends at last!
 
D#m
  Had you been there tonight
                      F#
You might know how it feels
B
 To be struck to the bone
               F#
In a moment of breathless delight!
 
D#m
  Had you been there tonight
             F#
You might also have known
B
 How the world may be changed
            A#m
In just one burst of light!
    G#m
And what was right
 
Seems wrong,
    G#7
And what was wrong
    C#
Seems right.
 
F#
Red...
                  D#m
I feel my soul on fire!
B
Black...
                      F#
My world if she′s not there!
F#
Red...
               D#m
The color of desire!
B
Black...
                 F#
The color of despair!
 
G#m
Marius, you're no longer a child.
         B                 E
I do not doubt you mean it well,
    B                     F#
But now there is a higher call.
 
G#m
  Who cares about your lonely soul?
     B                    E
We strive toward a larger goal.
    B                  F#7      B
Our little lives don′t count at all!
 
F#                       D#m
Red - the blood of angry men!
B                        F#
Black - the dark of ages past!
F#                     D#m
Red - a world about to dawn!
B                              F#
Black - the night that ends at last!
 
 
 
(Didn’t Include This Part Earlier Because It Is Just So Weird To Play,
If You Want To Try Id Advise To Just Play G7 In Whatever Rhythm
You Want Up Until ”listen Everybody”)
 
G7
Well, Courfeyrac, do we have all the guns?
Feuilly, Combeferre, our time is running short.
Grantaire, put the bottle down!
Do we have the guns we need?
 
Give me brandy on my breath
And I'll breathe them all to death!
 
Listen, everybody!
General Lamarque is dead!
 
            Dm  Em
Lamarque is dead.
              Dm                   Em
Lamarque! His death is the hour of fate.
             Dm
The people′s man.
Em        Dm      Am        E
 His death is the sign we await!
 
Am                                       Em
 On his funeral day, they will honor his name.
Am                                           Em
 With the light of rebellion ablaze in their eyes.
Bm                                            G
 From their candles of grief we will kindle our flame.
Bm                                        G
 On the tomb of Lamarque shall our barricade rise!
G        E
The time is here!
E                                         Bb
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer.
Bb                                              E
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts,
E
But a jubilant shout.
          C#           A
They will come one and all.
F#m                      E
  They will come when we call!
