This is the version based on the 2004 movie when Carlotta was supposed to sing it, but
the stage collapsed, she quit and Christine took over. The lyrics has changed and even
got a part, too.
Intro: F#
CARLOTTA:
C# B C#
Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said good-bye
F# C# B C#
Re-member me once in a while please promise me you'll try
Ebm Ebmmaj7 Ebm Ab
When you find that once a-gain you long to take your heart back and be free

(Strings play very ominous music)
(Shrieks and screams as stage collapses)
MEG:
He's here! The Phantom of the Opera!
LEFEVRE:
Senoria! Are you all right? Buquet! For God's sake, man, what's going on up there?
BUQUET:
Please monsieur don't look at me. As God's my charge, I wasn't at my post.
Please monsieur, there's no one there and if there is, well then, it must be a ghost!
ANDRE:
Signora, these things do happen!
CARLOTTA:
For the past three years, these things do happen and did you stop them from happening? No!
And you two, you're as bad as him. These things do happen! Until you stop these things happening,
This thing does not happen! Ubaldo! Andiamo! Prima Donna... Bye bye and Ciao!
PIANGI:
Amateurs!
LEFEVRE:
Gentlemen, Good luck. If you need me, I shall be in Australia.
GIRY:
I have a message, sir, from the Opera Ghost.
FIRMIN:
Oh God in Heaven, you're all obsessed!
GIRY:
He welcomes you to his opera house.
FIRMIN:
His opera house?
GIRY:
And commands you to continue to leave Box Five empty for his use
And reminds you that his salary is due.
FIRMIN:
His salary?
GIRY:
Monsieur Lefevre paid him twenty thousand francs a month.
FIRMIN:
Twenty thousand francs!
GIRY:
Perhaps you can afford more, with the Vicomte de Chagny as your patron.
FIRMIN:
Madame, I had hoped to have made that announcement public tonight
when the Vicomte was to join us for the gala. But obviously we shall now have to cancel,
as it appears that we have lost our star. A full house, Andre, we shall have to refund a full house.
GIRY:
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir.
FIRMIN:
What, a chorus girl?
GIRY:
Let her sing for you monsieur. She has been well taught!
FIRMIN:
D (as intro to restart the song)
Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves.
ANDRE:
She's very pretty.
