Chords for Hamilton in 7 Minutes Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] How does a bastard, orphan, son of a [Gb] whore and a Scotsman,
trapped in the middle of [G] a forgotten spot in the Caribbean
by Providence, [D] impoverished and squalor, grow up to be a [Bb] hero and scholar?
What's your name, man?
[Bm] Alexander Hamilton.
_ My [Gb] name is Alexander Hamilton. _
[G] And there's a million things I haven't done,
but just [D] you wait, just you [Gb] _ wait.
I'm not [Gm] throwing away my shot, [Bb] I'm not throwing away my shot,
[Cm] I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry,
and I'm [A] not throwing away my shot.
[A] Raise a glass [Dbm] to the four of [Gbm] us, tomorrow [B] there'll be more of us
[E] telling the story of
_ [Bm] _ Angelica,
[D] _
Eliza,
[Bm] and Peggy, the [Em] Schuyler sisters.
Eliza, [Bb] I'm looking for a mind [Bm] at work.
Hey, [A] hey, hey,
_ [G] greatest city in the [E] greatest city in the world.
_ _ Oceans rise, [G] empires fall,
we [C] have seen each other [Cm] through it all.
And [Em] when push [G] comes to shove,
[Cm] I will send a fully armed [D] battalion to remind you of [G] my love. _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [C] We are [Cm] outgunned,
_ [F] _ _ outnumbered, outplayed,
[Cm]
we gotta make an [Ab] outstand,
[C] we're gonna need a right hand.
_ [F] _ Boy, _ _ [G] _
_ _ you got [F] me all flared up,
I'm [Bb] looking to the eyes of the sky to live [Dm] it up,
I'm _ _ [F] _ _ [B] drowning in your _ eyes,
[C] _ and [Bb] the hope they'll provide.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
We satisfy [Bb] the vibes,
[Ab] vibes that discriminate between [N] the sinners and the saints,
it takes and it takes and it takes,
[Cm] but we can make,
[Eb]
we [Bbm] rise and we fall,
[Cm] and if there's a [Eb] reason I'm sad that so [Bb] many have died,
then I will [Eb] not,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
wait for it,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
it's a ten [F]-goal [Bm] commandment.
[Db] Oh, let me be [D] a part of a narrative,
in the story they will write [Bm] someday,
[Dbm] let this moment [D] be the first chapter,
where you decide [Bm] to stay.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] By the rains, break up and coax,
[Gb] burn with blood and stains,
and I'm never gonna stop until I make them drop it,
I'm a soldier of exile,
[G]
I'm a watchman of the gate,
I'm a mischief and I'm enraged,
and I'm out of [Bb] fire,
I go to France for more fun,
I come back with more [Bm] guns,
I'm a shitton,
I have [G]
soldiers in the field for you,
if [Bm] we manage to get this right,
_ [D] they'll surrender by early light,
_ [Bm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ world [G] turned upside down,
[A] _ [G] this enough,
_ [C] _ _ _ [G]
it'll be satisfying,
_ [G] history has its eyes [Em] _ [B] on you,
_ _ history [E] has its [G] eyes on you,
_ history has its eyes on [Bm] _ you,
history has [B] its eyes [N] on you,
history has its [G] eyes on you,
what did I miss?
[A] Thomas, that was a real nice declaration,
welcome to the present,
we're running a real nation,
would you like to join us?
[C] Stay mellow, doing whatever the hell it is you're doing,
Monticello!
Take a [F] break and _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ get your start,
don't [A] say no,
so we have to say no to this,
how can I say no to this,
there's nowhere I can go,
held by anybody,
nobody knows,
say no,
no one else was [E] in the room where it happened,
[D] the room where it [E] happened,
the room where it [Am] happened,
in God we trust,
[A] but we never really know what got [F] discussed,
[Gm] big boom then it [G] happened,
[Em] but no one else was in the room where it happened,
it [C] must be nice,
it must be nice,
to have [Eb] Washington on your side, _ _ _
we [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] both know what we know,
[Dm] _
Alexander Hamilton had [Am] a torrid affair,
and he wrote it down right [F] there,
I know my sister like I know [D] my own mind,
_ [Bb] you want his trusting or his kind,
[Ab] the _ _
_ _ [B] future [G] has _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] died,
you can never be satisfied,
just the fact [N] she's got you turned, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ it's quiet uptown,
forgiveness,
_ [C] _ can you imagine,
[Dm] _ _ forgiveness, _
_ _ [C] can you _ imagine,
[F] _
if you see him in the street,
[Am] walking by your side,
talking by your side,
[Bb] have pity,
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [C] they are going through the [F] _ unimaginable,
I'm a villain in [Gbm] your history,
[Db] I imagine death so much it feels more [Dm] like a memory,
it's hard to agree with the [Am] story,
I'm giving [Bb] up mine to see,
this is where it gets [F] me,
I should have known,
I've [Db] got to throw away my life,
to see all the other [Dm] side,
_ [F] _ _
[Bb] who lives, who dies, who tells your story, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
