Hamilton: Right Hand Man Chords

_ _ _ _ _ British Admiral Howe's got troops on the [G] _
water
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
32,000 troops in New [Gm]
York _ Harbour
_ _ [Bb] _ _
[Cm] _ 32 _ ,000 troops in [Dm] New York _ Harbour _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ They surround our troops, they surround [Bb] our troops, they surround our troops
_ [C] As a kid in the Caribbean I [D] wished for a war
I knew that I was poor, I knew it [Dm] was the only [Eb] way to rise up
If they tell my [Bb] story I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory [C] or rise up
I will fight for this land, but [D] there's only one man who can give us commands, who [Cm] can rise up
_ Understand it's the [Eb] only way to rise up, [Gm] rise up
[C] Here he comes, here comes the General
Ladies and gentlemen, here [Am] comes the [C] General
The moment [Ab] you've been waiting [G] for, here comes the [C] General
The pride of Mount Vernon, here [E] comes the General
George [Eb] Washington, we [C] are _ outgunned, _ _ [Ab] outmanned, [Am] _ _
_ outnumbered, [Ab] outran
_ We're gonna make him all _ outstand
Say [Am] yo I'm gonna need a right [C] hand [Cm] man _
Can [N] I be real a [C] second, for just a millisecond
Lay down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second
Now I'm the model of a modern Major General
The venerated [Ab] Virginian veteran whose men [C] are all lining up
To put me up on a pedestal, writing letters to relatives
Embellishing my [Ab] elegance and eloquence, [C] but the elephant is in the room
The truth is in your face [A] when you hear [F] the British cannons go [C] boom
Any hope of success is fleeting, how can I keep [A] leading when the people [C] I'm leading keep retreating
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Like takes Rook, but [Eb] look, we are [C] _ outgunned, _ [Ab] _ outmanned, _
[Am] _ _ _ [Ab] outnumbered, outran _
[C] We're gonna make him all [Ab] _ outstand
Say [Am] yo I'm gonna need a [Ab] right hand man
[Eb] _
_ [N] _ _ Incoming! _ _ _
[C] _ They're battling down the barren, [E] we check the [A] damages
We gotta stop them and rob them of their [Ab] advantages
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has [Bb] granted us
Hamilton won't abandon ship, yo, let's steal [Cm] their cannons
Shoot!
Go to the [G] cannon, wash the blood in the shit spray
And [F] go to the cannon, we're [Ab] abandoning Kip's [C] place
And there's another ship and [Ab] we just lost Southern Pippin
[Gb] We gotta run to Harlem quick, we can't afford another [C] slip
Guns and horses giddy up, [Ab] I decide to divvy [Am] up my forces
This skittish as [Ab] the British cut the city [C] up, this close to giving up
[Ab] Facing mass [Am] scrutiny, I scream in the face of [Ab] this mass mutiny
[Cm] Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I [Cm] cannot be everywhere at once, people
_ [Gm] I'm in dire need of assistance
Your [Cm] Excellency, sir
Who are you?
Aaron Burr, sir
[Gm] Permission to state my case?
As you were
Sir, I [Ab] was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he [Fm] caught a bullet in the neck in [Bb] Quebec
And well, in summary, [Cm] I think that I could be of some assistance
I [Gm] admire how you keep firing the British from a distance
[Ab] I have some questions, a couple of suggestions
[Fm] On how to fight instead of [Bb] fleeing west [Cm] Yes
Your Excellency, you wanted to see me
[Gm] Hamill, come in, have you met Burr?
Yes, sir, we [Ab] keep meeting
As I was saying, sir, I look forward [F] to seeing your strategy [Ab] play out Burr!
Sir, close the door on your way out
_ _ _ [Cm] _ Have I done something wrong, sir?
On the [Gm] contrary
I called you here because our odds are beyond [Ab] scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have [F] to laugh Sir?
Hamilton, [Bb] how come no one can get you on their [C] staff?
Sir!
[Cm] Don't get me wrong, you're a young man of great [Gm] renown
I know you stole British cannons when we were still [Ab] downtown
Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire [Fm] you
To be their [Bb] secretary, I don't think so
Now why [Cm] are you upset?
I'm not
It's all right you want to fight, [Gm] you've got a hunger
I was just like you when I was younger
[Ab] Head full of fanaticies of dying like a martyr?
[F] Yes
[Bb]
Dying is easy, young [C] man, living is harder
Why are you telling me this?
I'm being [Gm] honest, I'm working with a third of what our Congress has [Ab] promised
We are a powder keg about to explode, I [F] need someone like you to lighten the [C] load So?
I am not throwing away my shot
[Cm] I am not [C] throwing away my [Ab] shot
In [Cm] your boots, I could treat [Ab] a young stocky in my mane
I am not throwing away my shot
Son, we [C] are outnumbered, outmanned
You'll need all the help you can get, I [Am] have some friends
Lawrence Mulligan, [Ab] Marquis de Lafayette, [C] okay, what else?
_ Outnumbered, [Ab] outmanned
I need some spies [Am] on the inside, some king's men who [Ab] might let some things slide
I'll [G] write to Congress and tell them we need supplies
You rally the guys, master the element of surprise
[F] I'll rise above my station, [Bb] organize your [Ab] information
Till we rise to the occasion of our new mission
[C] Here comes the General Rise up!
[Am] Here comes the General [Ab] Rise up!
[Cm] Here comes the General _ Rise up!
[Fm] Here comes the General
[B] _ _ _ [G] _ And his right-hand [D] man
_ [G] _
[C] Boom!
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
