     Em               Dadd9/E
Look down and see the beggars at your feet

Look down and show some mercy if you can
     Em               Dadd9/E
Look down and see the sweepings of the street

Look down, look down upon your fellow man!

Gavroche
Em
'Ow do you do? My name's Gavroche.

These are my people. Here's my patch.

Not much to look at, nothing posh
A/E
Nothing that you'd call up to scratch.
G
This is my school, my high society
D
Here in the slums of Saint Michele
F
We live on crumbs of humble piety
C
Tough on the teeth, but what the hell!

Think you're poor?
C
Think you're free?
C#
Follow me! Follow me!

There was a time we killed the king

We tried to change the world to fast!

Now he have got another king

He's no better than the last!
A
This is the land that fought for liberty
E
Now when we fight, we fight for bread

Here is the thing about equality
D
Everyone's equal when they're dead
D
Take your place
D
Take your chance
D#
Vive la france! Vive la france!

When we gonna live?

Something's gotta happen now or
                  Bm
Something's gonna give

Only one man - General Lamarque

Lamarque is ill and fading fast!

With all the anger in the land

How long before the judgement day?
 
Enjolras

Before we cut the fat ones down to size?
 
Beggars
F#                     Em    Dadd9/E Em7 A/E
Before the barricades arise?
