From the musical, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Intro:
F Fsus F Fsus F
C/F D#/F
So many times out there
A#/F F G9/F
I've watched a happy pair
A7/F F Gm7/C
Of lovers walking in the night
F A#sus2
They had a kind of glow around them
A#sus2/D Am7 A# F
It almost looked like heaven's light
C/F D#/F
I knew I'd never know
A#/F F G/F
That warm and loving glow
A/F Asus A Dm
Though I might wish with all my might
Dm/C A#(add2) F/A Gm7
No face as hideous as my face
F(add2)/A A#(add2)
Was ever meant for heaven's light
F A#m/F F F7 A#(add2)
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
Dm G C7sus C7 F
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
C/F D#/F
I dare to dream that she
A#/F F G7/F
Might even care for me
A7/F Em7/A Am A#
And as I ring these bells tonight
Am Dm7 Gm7
My cold dark tower seems so bright
C7sus F5
I swear it must be heaven's light

Beata Maria
Gm Dm7b5 D/A A/G
You know I'm so much purer than

The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Gm D Gm
Then tell me, Maria
Cm A#/D D
Why I see her dancing there
D# Asus A7 D
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
A/D D
Cogitatione (In thought)
Gm D Gm
I feel her, I see her
Cm A#/D D
The sun caught in raven hair
D# A7 D7sus
Is blazing in me out of all control

Like fire

Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
