Eponine 
E 
'Parnasse, what are you doing 
E 
So far out of our patch? 

Montparnasse 
E 
This house, we're going to do it 
E 
Rich man, plenty of scratch 
E 
You remember he's the one 
E 
Who got away the other day 
G 
Got a number on his chest 
Cm                B        E 
Perhaps a fortune put away! 

Eponine 
E 
Oh Lord, somebody help me! 
E 
Dear God, what'll I do? 
E 
He'll think this is an ambush 
E 
He'll think I'm in it too! 
Gb 
What'll I do, what'll I say? 
Eb 
I've got to warn them here 
B 
I've got to find a way. 
Cm A Ab A Db 

(Thenardier arrives with the rest of his gang.) 

Thenardier 
Db 
This is his lair 
Db 
I've seen the old fox around 
Db 
He keeps himself to himself 
Db 
He's staying close to the ground 
Gb 
I smell profit here! 
Ab 
Ten years ago 
            Db 
He came and paid for Cosette 
Db 
I let her go for a song 
Db 
It's time we settled the debt 
G 
This'll cost him dear 

Brujon 
A 
What do I care 
A 
Who you should rob 
A 
Give me my share 
A 
Finish the job! 

Thenardier 
A        Gb 
You shut your mouth 
G 
Give me your hand 

(He notices Eponine but doesn't recognize her.) 

Brujon 
Gb 
What have we here? 

Thenardier 
            Db 
Who is this hussy? 

Babet 
Db 
It's your brat Eponine 
Db 
Don't you know your own kid 
                  A 
Why's she hanging about you? 

Thenardier 
 Db 
'Ponine, get on home 
Db 
You're not needed in this 
                  Gb 
We're enough here without you 

Eponine 
Db 
I know this house 
                                    E 
I tell you there's nothing here for you 
     Fm                  Gb 
Just the old man and the girl 
A                  Ab 
They live ordinary lives 

Thenardier 
Ab    Cm 
Don't interfere 
Cm 
You've got some gall 
Cm 
Take care, young miss, 
                    Db 
You've got a lot to say! 

Brujon

She's going soft 

Claquesous

Happens to all 

Montparnasse

Go home, 'Ponine, 
                       Ab 
Go home, you're in the way 

Eponine 
Ab                Db 
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here. 

Thenardier 
Db                                               Bb 
One little scream and you'll regret it for a year. 

Claquesous 
Eb 
What a palaver 
Eb 
What an absolute treat 
Eb 
To watch a cat and it's father 
Eb 
Pick a bone in the street 

Brujon 
Eb    Ab 
Not a sound out of you! 

Eponine 
Ab              Cm         Eb              Ab 
Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it... 

(She screams.) 

Thenardier 
B 
You wait my girl, you'll rue this night 
B 
I'll make you scream, you'll scream all right 
B 
Leave her to me, don't wait around 
B 
Make for the sewers, go underground! 

(The gang scatters.) 

Marius 
Ab 
It was your cry sent them away 
A 
Once more 'Ponine saving the day 
                 E 
Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine 
Eb 
Brought me to you, showed me the way! 
Eb 
Someone is near 
Eb 
Let's not be seen 
B              Eb A 
Somebody's here... 

(Marius leaves quickly as Valjean enters.) 

Valjean 
A 
My God, Cosette 
A 
I heard a cry in the dark 
A 
I heard the shout of angry voices in the street. 

Cosette 
Fm                         Eb 
That was my cry you heard, Papa. 
Ab           Cm Eb 
I was afraid of what they'd do. 
Db                      Ab 
They ran away when they heard my cry 

Valjean 
Ab       G 
Cosette, my child, what will become of you? 

Cosette 
Cm              Fm         Cm 
Three men I saw beyond the wall 
Cm                  Bb     Cm 
Three men in shadow moving fast 

Valjean 
Ab        Cm 
This is a warning to us all 
Fm            G              Cm 
These are the shadows of the past 
A 
Must be Javert! 
A 
He's found my cover at last! 
A 
I've got to get Cosette away 
            Ab 
Before they return! 
Ab 
We must get away from shadows 
Ab 
They will never let us be 
Fm 
Tomorrow to Calais 
Bb                         G 
Then a ship across the sea! 
G 
Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more 
         Eb 
Tomorrow we'll away! 
B 
Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door 
B 
And live another day!
