(F# F#) How does a...

[Verse 1]
Bm Bm
How does a bastard orphan son of a whore and a
F# F#
Scotsman dropped in the middle of a
G G
Forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence
D D
Impoverished in squalor
F# F#
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar


Bm Bm
The ten-dollar founding father without a father
F# F#
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
G G
By being a lot smarter
D D
By being a self-starter by fourteen
F# F#
they had placed him in charge of a trading charter


Bm Bm
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
F# F#
Away across the waves our Hamilton kept his guard up
G G
Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
D D F# F#
The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter


Bm Bm
Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned
F# F#
And our man saw his future drip dripping down the drain
G G
Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain
D D F# F#
And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain


Bm Bm
Well the word got around they said "This kid is insane man
F# F#
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
G G
Get your education don't forget from whence you came
D D F# F#
and the world is gonna know your name, what's your name man?"


[Chorus 1]
Bm Bm
Alexander Hamilton
F# F#
His name is Alexander Hamilton
G G
And there's a million things he hasn't done
D D F# F#
But just you wait just you wait


[Verse 2]
Bm Bm
When he was ten his father split full of it debt-ridden
F# F# G G
Two years later see Alex and his mother bed-ridden half-dead

Sittin' in their own sick the scent thick

D D
And Alex got better but his mother went quick


Bm Bm
Moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide
F# F#
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride something new inside
G G
A A voice saying "Alex you gotta fend for yourself"


D D F# F#
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf


Bm Bm
There would have been nothing left to do

For someone less astute he woulda been
F# F#
Dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
G G
Started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
D D F# F#
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Bm Bm
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
F# F#
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
G G
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
D D F# F#
In New York you can be a new man

Bm Bm
The ship is in the harbor now

See if you can spot him
F# F#
Another immigrant

Comin' up from the bottom
Em Em
His enemies destroyed his rep

America forgot him

D D F# F#
And me I'm the damn fool that shot him

[Chorus 2]

In our cowardice and our shame
