Chords for #45 Hamilton - The World Was Wide Enough [[MUSIC LYRICS]]

_ _ _ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
There are 10 [F] things you need to know Number 1
We rode across the Hudson at dawn
My friend William P.
Van Ness signed on as my number [Ab] 2
Hamilton arrived with his crew
[C] Nathaniel Pendleton and the [F] doctor that he needed Number 3
I watched Hamilton examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain
[Ab] This man is poisoned by political [Db] pursuits
Most disputes die and [Bb] no one [F] shoots Number 4
Hamilton drew first position
Looking to the world [Fm] like a man on a mission
[Ab] This is a soldier with a marksman's ability
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability [F] 5
Now I didn't know this at the time but we were near the same spot
My son died, is that why?
6
[Ab] He examined his gun with such rigor
I [Dbm] watched as he methodically fiddled with the [F] trigger 7
Confession time, here's what I got
My fellow soldiers will tell you I'm a terrible shot Number [Fm] 8
Your [Ab] last chance to negotiate
[C] Send in your secrecy if they can set the record straight
[A] They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up, Hamilton was wearing his glasses Why?
If not to take deadly aim
It's him or me, the world will never be the same
I had only [Fm] one thought before the slaughter
This man will not make an orphan of my daughter Number 9
Look [Ab] him in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the [Bb] courage you require Then [C] count
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [Ab] 9
Number 10, place his [B] fire
I _ imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me?
On my feet, several feet ahead of me
I see it coming, do I run or fire my gun or let it be?
My _ _ _ _ _ first friend, my enemy, maybe the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot, is this how you remember me?
What if [N] this bullet is my legacy?
Legacy?
What is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
America, you great unfinished symphony you sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints
Rise up, I'm running out of time, I'm running and my time's up
Wise up, eyes up
I catch a glimpse of the other side
Lawrence leads a soldier's chorus on the other side
My son is on the other side
He's with my mother on the other side
Washington is watching from the other side
Teach me how to say goodbye
Rise up, rise up, rise up And I
Rise up, _ _ my love, take your time
I'll see you on the other side
_ _ [G] Raise a glass to [B] freedom
[F] He aims his pistol [Bbm] at the sky, wait!
[F] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] I strike him right between his [F] ribs
I [D] _
_ [E] walk towards him, but I am [F] ushered away
_ [Dm] _
_ [Am] They row him back across the Hudson
[F] _ _ [E] _
_ I get a drink
_ [F] _ _ [C] _
[Am] _ _ I hear wailing in [F] the streets
[C] _
Somebody [Gb] tells me you'd better [F] hide
[C]
[D] They [Am] say Angelica and [F] _ [C] Eliza
[E] Were both at his side when he died
[Dm] Death doesn't discriminate
Between the [F] sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and [Dm] it takes _
History obliterates
And every picture [Bb] it paints
It paints me and all my [Dm] mistakes
When Alexander aimed at the sky
[C] He may have been the first one to die
But I'm the one [Bb] who paid for it
I survived, but I paid for it
_ [F] Now [Dm] I'm the villain in [Am] your history
I [F] _ [Dm] was too young and [Am] blind to see
[Em] _ [F] I [Dm] should have known
[Am] I should have known
[F] The world was wide enough
For [C] both Hamilton [Am] and me
The [F] world was wide enough
For [C] both Hamilton [Am] and me _ _ _ _ _
