Hush now, do not be afraid of me
<7 <-3 <-3 4 -5 <-3 <-5
Don’t cry, show me where you live
-6 7 <7 7 8 -9 <-9 9
Tell me, my child, what is your name
-6 <-5 -5 <-5
I’m called Cosette
6 6 6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 7
I found her wandering in the wood
7 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 -7 7 <-6 6 7
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
-7 -7 -7 -8 -8 -8 -8 8
And I am here to help Cosette
8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9 10 -9 8 -8 -7 8
And I will settle any debt you may think proper
8 -7 7 6 -6 -6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
I will pay what I must pay to take Cosette away
<7 <7 <7 -7 <7 <-6 <7 6
There is a duty I must heed
-7 -7 -7 -7 <7 <-6 -8 <7 <-6 6
There is a promise I have made
<7 <7 <7 <7 <-6 <7 -7 -8
For I was blind to one in need
<7 <7 <7 <7 <7 -7 -8 <5 6
I did not see what stood before me
<10 <-10 <11 <10 <8 -8 -7
Now her mother is with God
<10 <-10 <11 <10 <8 -8 <-7 <-10
Fantine’s suffering is over
<-9 10 <-10 <-9 -8 -7 7
And I speak here with her voice
<-9 10 <-10 10 <-9 <-10 10
And I stand here in her place
-8 -8 -8 -8 <-7 -8 <8 <-9
And from this day and evermore
<-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6
Let me take your coat, Monsieur
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 <8 <-9 <7 -8
Cosette shall live in my protection
<7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7 <7
You are very welcome here
<-9 <-9 <-9 <9 <-9 10 <-10
I shall not forsake my vow
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8
Take a glass, take a chair
<-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <8 -8 -8
Cosette shall have a father now
<7 <7 7 <7 <7 7
What to do, what to say
<7 <7 7 -6 7 <7 -8 <7 7
Shall you carry our treasure away
<-6 <-6 -6 <-6 <-6 -6
What a gem, what a pearl
<-6 <-6 -6 <-5 -6 <-6 <-7 <-6 -6
Beyond rubies is our little girl
6 6 <-5 6 6 <-5
How can we speak of debt
6 6 <-5 <5 <-5 6 <7 6 <-5
Let’s not haggle for darling Cosette
<7 <7 7 <7 <7 7
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
<7 <7 7 -6 7 <7 -8 <7 7
Have we done for her child what is best
<-7 <-7 -7 <-7 <-7 -7
Shared our bread, shared each bone
<-7 <-7 -7 7 -7 <-7 <8 <-7 <7
Treated her like she’s one of our own
7 <7 -7 <-5 <-5
Like our own, Monsieur
<-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6
Your feelings do you credit, sir
<-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6 <-6
And I will ease the parting blow
<-6 <7 -7 -7 <7 <7 <-6 <-6 6 <-5 <7
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
<7 <7 <7 <-7 <-7 <-7 -8 -8
Now may I say we are agreed
<7 <7 7 <7 <7 7
That would quite fit the bill
<7 <7 <7 -6 7 <7 -8 <7 7
If she hadn’t so often been ill
<-6 <-6 -6 <-6 <-6 -6
Little dear cost us dear
<-6 <-6 -6 <-5 -6 <-6 <-7 <-6 -6
Medicines are expensive, Monsieur
6 6 <-5 6 6 6 <-5
Not that we begrudged a sou
6 6 <-5 <5 <-5 6 <7 6 <-5
It’s no more than we Christians must do
<7 <7 6 <7 <7 6
One thing more, one small doubt
<7 <7 7 -6 6 <7 -8 <7 7
There are treacherous people about
<-7 <-7 -7 <-7 <-7 -7
No offense, please reflect
<-7 <-7 -7 7 -7 <-7 <8 <-7 -7
Your intentions may not be correct
<7 <7 7 <7 <7 7
No more words, here’s your price
<7 <7 7 -6 7 <7 -8 <7 7
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
<-6 <-6 -6 <-6 <-6 -6
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
<-6 <-6 -6 <-5 -6 <-6 <-7 <-6 -6
Let us seek out some friendlier sky
6 6 <-5 6 6 <-5
Thank you both for Cosette
6 6 <-5 <5 <-5 6 <7 6 <-5
It won’t take you too long to forget
<7 <7 7 <7 <7 7
Come, Cosette; come, my dear
<7 <7 7 -6 7 <7 -8 <7 7
From now on I will always be here
<-6 <-6 -6 <-6 <-6 -6
Where I go you will be
<-6 <-6 <-6 -6 <-5 -6 <-6 <-7 <-6 -6
Will there be children and castles to see
6 6 <-5 6 6 <-5
Yes, Cosette; yes, it’s true
6 6 <-5 <5 <-5 6 <7 6 <-5
There’s a castle just waiting for you
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
