Chords for Cabinet Battle #1

Ladies and gentlemen, [D] you could have been anywhere in the [D] world tonight, but you're here with us in [B] New York City.
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?
Huh?
_ [E] The issue [Em] on the table, Secretary Hamilton's [E] plan to assume state debt and establish a national [Em] bank.
Secretary Jepson, you have the floor, sir.
_ _ _ Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less.
These are wise words, enterprising men [E] quote them.
Don't act surprised, you guys, cause [Em] I wrote them.
Ow!
But Hamilton [B] forgets, his plan would have the government assume state [E] debts.
Now place your bets as to who that better fits.
[B] The very seat of government [A] where Hamilton sits.
[C] Not true!
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it.
If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear [D] it?
Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid.
Don't tax the South, [B] cause we got it made in the [Em] shade.
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground. We [B] create.
You just want to move our money around.
[E] This financial plan is an outrageous demand, [B] and it's too many damn pages [C] for any man to understand.
Stand with me in the land of the free.
Pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy.
[D] Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky.
Imagine what gonna [Em] happen when you try to tax our whiskey.
_ [D] Thank you, Secretary [B] Jefferson.
_ Secretary Hamilton, _ [A] your response?
_ _ _ [Em]
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration.
Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation.
Would you like to join us?
Or stay mellow doing whatever the hell it is you're doing?
[E] Monticello!
If we assume the debts the union gets, [B] a new line of credit, a financial diuretic, [Em] how do you not get it?
If we're aggressive and [B] competitive, the union gets a boost.
You'd rather [C] give it a sedative?
A civics lesson from a slave.
Hey, neighbor, your debts are paid, just don't pay for [D] labor.
We plant seeds in the South.
We create.
And keep ranting.
We [N] know who's really doing the [Em] planting.
And another thing, Mr.
Age of [B] Enlightenment, don't lecture me about the war.
You didn't fight in [Em] it.
You think I'm frightened of you, man?
We almost died [B] in the trench.
Well, you [E] were off getting high with the French.
Thomas Jefferson always hesitant with the President.
Madison, there isn't a plan he doesn't test it.
Madison, you mad as a hound, so take your medicine.
Damn, you in worse shape than the National Debt is [D#] in.
Sitting there useless as two shits.
Hey, [D] turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits. Excuse me!
[Bm] Madison, Jefferson, take a walk.
Hamilton, take a walk.
We're going to [A] reconvene after a brief recess.
Hamilton?
Sir?
A word.
[Em] _ You don't have the votes.
You don't have the votes.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
You're going to need congressional approval and you don't have the votes.
_ [E]
Such a blunder, sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.
Why he even brings the thunder? _ _ _ _ _
You want to pull [C] yourself together?
I'm sorry, [C#m] these Virginians are birds of [B] a feather.
Young man, I'm from Virginia, so watch your [C#] mouth.
So we let Congress get held [C] hostage by the South?
[E] You need the votes.
No, we need bold strokes, we need this plan.
No, you need to convince more folks.
Well, James Madison won't talk to me.
That's a non-starter.
Ah.
Winning was easy, young man, governing's hard.
They're being intransigent.
You have to [Em] find a compromise.
But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine.
Convince them otherwise.
And what happens if I [Em] don't get congressional approval?
[E] I imagine they'll call for your removal.
Sir, figure it out, Alexander.
_ That's an order from
