Hamilton - Alexander Hamilton
Musicals
Key : Bm
Capo
[Burr (1)]
---------------------
F# F#7 Bm    F#     Bm
         How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
F#
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
G                                                     D
Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor
                F#7
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[Laurens]
---------------------
    Bm
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
      F#
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
           G
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
            D                          F#7
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

[Jefferson]
---------------------
    Bm
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
    F#
Away  across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
  G
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
       D                            F#7
The brother was ready to beg, steal,   borrow, or barter

[Madison]
---------------------
       Bm
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
       F#
Our man  saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
      G
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
       D                             F#7
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

[Burr (2)]
---------------------
          Bm
Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man"
F#
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
G
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and
    D                            F#
The world's gonna know your name.  What's your name, man?"

[Hamilton]
---------------------
Bm
Alexander Hamilton
           F#
My name is Alexander Hamilton
              G
And there's a million things I haven't done
             D             F#7
But just you wait, just you   wait...

[Eliza]
---------------------
            Bm
When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
         F#
Two years  later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
     G
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
    D                       F#7
And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[Washington]
---------------------
Bm
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
F#
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
  G
A voice saying
"Alex, you gotta fend for yourself."
           D                            F#7
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[Burr (3)]
---------------------
      Bm
There would have been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
               F#
He woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
        G
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's land-lord
D                          F#7
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Bm
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
F#
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
    G
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
   D                F#7
In New York you can be a new man
Bm
  Just you wait
Bdim
      Just you wait
Em F#
     Just you wait!

[All]
---------------------
Bm
Alexander Hamilton
       Bdim
We are waiting in the wings for you
          Em
You could never back down
                              F#
You never learned to take your  time!
    Bm
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
      Bdim
When America sings for you
          Em
Will they know what you overcame?
              Bm                     Em
Will they know  you rewrote the game?
         Bm       G     D         F#7
The world  will never be the same,   oh
    Bm
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Another immigrant
Comin' up from the bottom
    Em
His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him
F#
We fought with him
Me? I died for him
Me? I trusted him
Me? I loved him
       Em
And me?  I'm the damn fool that shot him
          G                            D
There's a million things I haven't done
             Em   F#
But just you wait!
What's your name, man
                   Bm
Alexander Hamilton!
