I don't have the score, but here's an appealing rendition on YouTube

La foule, Edith Piaf, piano-chant
Download and print in PDF or MIDI free sheet music of la foule - Édith Piaf for La Foule by Édith Piaf arranged by Bernard Delahaye for Piano (Solo)
musescore.com
You could sign up for a free trial and download the pdf. Then set a reminder to cancel the membership before 30 days are up.
It's a shame that MuseScore, since its acquisition by "Ultimate Guitar," has been used to monetize others' work for their own benefit. My suggestion would be to start a chat with the transcriber and send them some money by PayPal.
The Ariggo Tomasi scores are great quality. I've listened to a few and then done my own versions like Minor Swing and a Mat Matthews one - but it is a very good starting place. I found with the accordion a lot of the scores on the internet (especially musescore) are really trashy or all over the place or change so much that the original song is totally neutered. Your ears are generally a better judge than your eyes. Even the repetative Yann Tiersen stuff beloved of teenage girls gets sanitised and then repeated on so many youtube videos the bleached version becomes the norm. If you listen to him play it normally has a bit more balls and a few more scruches. I'm off to France for six weeks shortly so will do a nice version of La Foule you are welcome to if we have some wet days!

The link doesn't work
Voilà ! Une version pas trop difficile.
And for those of you that play the type of accordion favoured by the cherubim and seraphim here is a fingered version.
// marks a good place for a bellows change
Red notes with fingering above them are for the repeater rows (counterbass with LH, rows 4 &5 with RH)

So, uh, do the angels prefer B or C system?
Dunno, but I doubt that they go harping on about it
The holy see of course
Pinu, I have a pdf of the song. PM me with your email and I'll forward same to you.

Update, I was looking at some music and it has red notes on the right handThanks, saundersbp: I wondered what those red notes were. Now I know
I'm running out of puns now to keep up!
If it's one of my scores it means repeater rows (4/5). I'm only a recent accordionist so I find a bit of fingering helpful. I'm also a cheapskate so my free music programme doesn't do circled fingering, but it does do colours!Update, I was looking at some music and it has red notes on the right hand
Never heard of this guy, but a great resource for people learning by ear. I listened to a few of his videos too which reminded me of a Cruise Liner Band: very good musicians playing nice middle of the road stuff that all can enjoy. I've never been on a Cruise Liner.....
