[BURR]
           Bm                                 F#
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
G
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
D                            Bbdim
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’ flag higher?
Bm
Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
   F#
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
    G
He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
D                                  Bbdim
Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!

[LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE]
Bm
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts

[WASHINGTON]
   F#
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts

[LAFAYETTE]
       G
We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
D                      Bbdim
For this to succeed, there is someone else we need:

[WASHINGTON]
I know

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean—

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
F#

Or matches my practical tactical brilliance—

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

You wanna fight for your land back?

Troops are waiting in the field for you
       Em                  D                       F#
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
    Bm
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
       G7
I have soldiers that will yield for you
      Em
If we manage to get this right
