Don’t you fret, Mon
Gm7
sieur
Marius,
I
F/A
don’t feel any
Bb
pain.
A
F/C
little fall of
Caug
rain
can
Dm
hardly hurt me
F7/Eb
now.
You’re
Bb/D
here
–
that’s
Gm/C
all I need to
F
know.
And you will keep me
Gm7
safe,
and
F7/A
you will keep me
Bb
close,
and
F/C
rain will make the
Gm/C
flowers
F
grow.

But you will live, ‘Ponine –
dear God ab
Ab
ove,
Db/Eb
if I could heal your wounds with words of
F
love.

Just
Gm
hold me now and

comfort me…

You would live a

hundred
years
if

I could show you

how,
I
F/C
won’t desert you
Caug
now,
Éponine
the
Dm
rain can’t hurt me
F7/Eb
now
–
this
Bb/D
rain will
Gm/C
wash away what’s
F
past.
And you will keep me
Gm7
safe,
and
F7/A
you will keep me
Bb
close,
I’ll
F/C
sleep in your em
Gm/C
brace at
F
last.
Db/Eb
The rain that brings you here is heaven
Ab
blessed,
Db/Eb
the skies begin to clear and I’m at
F
rest.
A
Gm
breath away from
F/A
where you are,
I’ve
Bb
come home from so
C
far…
