guitar chords lyrics
Wedding Chorale
Ring out the bells upon this day of days!
May all the angels of the Lord above
In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
And crown this blessed time with peace and love.
Major Domo: The Baron and Baroness de Thénard wish to pay their respects to the groom!
I forget where we met
Was it not at the Chateau Lafarge
Where the Duke did that puke
Down the Duchess's de-coll-etage?
No, `Baron de Thénard'
The circles I move in are humbler by far.
Go away, Thénardier!
Do you think I don't know who you are?
Mme. Thénardier:
Go away, Thénardier!
Do you think I don't know who you are?
Mme. Thénardier:
He's not fooled. Told you so.
Show M'sieur what you've come here to show.
Tell the boy what you know!
When I look at you, I remember Eponine.
She was more than you deserved, who gave her birth
But now she is with God and happier, I hope,
Than here on earth!
So it goes, heaven knows
Life has dealt me some terrible blows.
Mme. Thénardier:
You've got cash and a heart
You could give us a bit of a start!
We can prove, plain as ink
Your bride's father is not what you think.
Thénardier: There's a tale I could tell
Mme. Thénardier: Information we're willing to sell...
There's a man that he slew
I saw the corpse clear as I'm seeing you!
What I tell you is true!
Mme. Thénardier:
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surely wouldn't come amiss.
Marius: In God's name say what you have to say.
Thénardier: But first you pay!
What I saw, clear as light,
Jean Valjean in the sewers that night.
Had this corpse on his back
Hanging there like a bloody great sack.
I was there, never fear.
Even found me this fine souvenir!
I know this! This was mine!
Surely this is some heavenly sign!
One thing more, mark this well
It was the night the barricades fell.
Then it's true, then I'm right
Jean Valjean was my savior that night!
As for you, take this too!
God forgive the things that we do.
Come my love, come Cosette,
This day's blessings are not over yet!
