[Intro]
[B] [Bdim] [B]

[B]How does a bastard, orphan, [Bdim]son of a whore and a
[B]Scotsman, dropped in the [B]middle of a forgotten
[Bdim]Spot in the Caribbean [B]by providence, impoverished, in squalor
[B]Grow up to be [Bdim]a hero and a scholar?
[B]The ten-dollar Founding [B]Father without a father
[Bdim]Got a lot farther [B]by working a lot harder
[B]By being [Bdim]a lot smarter
[B]By being [B]a self-starter
[Bdim]By fourteen, they placed him [B]in charge of the trading charter
[B]Alexander Hamilton
[Bdim]My name [B]is Alexander Hamilton
[B]And there's a million [Bdim]things I haven't done
[B]But just you [B]wait, just you wait
[Bdim]Wait for it
[B]Wait for it
[B]Wait for it
[Bdim]Wait for it
[B]I am the one thing [B]in life I can control
[Bdim]Wait for it
[B]Wait for it
[B]Wait for it
[Bdim]Wait for it
[B]I am inimitable
[B]I am [Bdim]an original
[B]And if there's a [B]reason I'm still alive
[Bdim]When so [B]many have died
[B]Then I'm [Bdim]willin' to—
[B]I'm willing to
[B]Work, work!
[Bdim]Angelica!
[B]Work, work!
[B]Eliza!
[Bdim]And Peggy—
[B]Look around, at how lucky we [B]are to be alive right now!
[Bdim]History is happening in Manhattan [B]and we just happen to be
[B]In the [Bdim]greatest city
[B]In the greatest [B]city in the world!
[Bdim]The world [B]turned upside down
[B]The world [Bdim]turned upside down
[B]The world [B]turned upside down
[Bdim]The world [B]turned upside down
[B]♪
[Bdim]Yeah you'll blow [B]us all away
[B]Oceans rise, [Bdim]empires fall
[B]We have seen each [B]other through it all
[Bdim]And when push [B]comes to shove
[B]I will send a fully armed [Bdim]battalion to remind you of my love!
[B]Da da da dat da dat [B]da da da da ya da
[Bdim]Da da dat dat [B]da da ya da!
[B]♪
[Bdim]No one [B]else was in
[B]The room [Bdim]where it happened
[B]The room [B]where it happened
[Bdim]The room [B]where it happened
[B]No one [Bdim]else was in
[B]The room [B]where it happened
[Bdim]The room [B]where it happened
[B]The room [Bdim]where it happened
[B]No one really knows [B]how the game is played
[Bdim]The art [B]of the trade
[B]How the [Bdim]sausage gets made
[B]We just assume [B]that it happens
[Bdim]But no one else is [B]in the room where it happens
[B]We are [Bdim]outgunned (What?)
[B]Outmanned (What?)
[B]Outnumbered
[Bdim]Outplanned
[B]We gotta make [B]an all out stand
[Bdim]Ayo, I'm gonna [B]need a right-hand man
[B]Hamilton!
[Bdim]Sir, he knows what [B]to do in a trench
[B]Ingenuitive and fluent [Bdim]in French, I mean—
[B]Hamilton!
[B]Sir, you're gonna have [Bdim]to use him eventually
[B]What's he gonna do [B]on the bench? I mean—
[Bdim]Hamilton!
[B]No one [B]has more resilience
[Bdim]Or matches my [B]practical tactical brilliance—

[B]Into the letter but [Bdim]the sooner the better
[B]To get your [B]right hand man back!
[Bdim]It must be nice, [B]it must be nice
[B]To have Washington [Bdim]on your side
[B]It must be nice, [B]it must be nice
[Bdim]To have Washington [B]on your side
[B]Look back at the Bill [Bdim]of Rights (Which I wrote!)
[B]The ink [B]hasn't dried
[Bdim]It must be nice, [B]it must be nice
[B]To have Washington [Bdim]on your side—
[B]Somebody has to stand [B]up for the South!
[Bdim]Somebody has to stand [B]up to his mouth!
[B]If there's a fire [Bdim]you're trying to douse
[B]You can't put it [B]out from inside the house
[Bdim]I'm in the cabinet, [B]I am complicit in
[B]Watching him grabbin' at [Bdim]power and kiss it
[B]If Washington [B]isn't gon' listen
[Bdim]To disciplined dissidents, [B]this is the difference:
[B]This kid [Bdim]is out
[B]♪
[B]In New York you [Bdim]can be a new man
[B]How do you write like [B]you're running out of time?
[Bdim]Write day and night like [B]you're running out of time?
[B]Ev'ry day you fight like [Bdim]you're running out of time
[B]Like you're running [B]out of time
[Bdim]Are you running [B]out of time?
[B]Let me tell you [Bdim]what I wish I'd known
[B]When I was young [B]and dreamed of glory
[Bdim]You have [B]no control
[B]Who lives, who dies, [Bdim]who tells your story
[B]I know that [B]we can win
[Bdim]I know that [B]greatness lies in you
[B]But remember from [Bdim]here on in
[B]History has its [B]eyes on you (Whoa...)
[Bdim]♪
[B]And I am not [B]throwing away my shot
[Bdim]I am not [B]throwing away my shot
[B]Hey yo, I'm [Bdim]just like my country
[B]I'm young, [B]scrappy and hungry
[Bdim]And I'm not [B]throwing away my shot
[B]We gonna rise up, time to take [Bdim]a shot (Not throwing away my shot)
[B]We gonna rise up, time to take [B]a shot (Not throwing away my shot)
[Bdim]We're gonna rise up, rise up! [B](It's time to take a shot!)
[B]Rise up, [Bdim]rise up!
[B]And I am [B]not throwing away my
[Bdim]Not throwing [B]away my shot
[B]There's a million [Bdim]things I haven't done
[B]But just you [B]wait (Just wait)

[B]Alexander (Hamilton)
[Bdim]Alexander (Hamilton)
