How does Hamilton 
Dm 
An arrogant 
Dm 
Immigrant, orphan 
Dm/E 
Bastard, whoreson 
Dm/E  
Somehow endorse 
       Dm/F 
Thomas Jefferson, his enemy 
                              Bb 
A man he’s despised since the beginning 
      A 
Just to keep me from winning? 
Dm 
I wanna be in the room where it happens— 

Burr and Company 
    Dm/E 
The room where it happens 
Dm/E  
The room where it happens 

Burr 
Dm/F 
You’ve kept me from—

The room where it happens

Dear Alexander: 
      Dm 
I am slow to anger 
      Edim 
But I toe the line 
     Dm/F 
As I reckon with the effects 
         Bb          A 
Of your life on mine 
        Dm           
I look back on where I failed 
         Edim 
And in every place I checked 
      Dm/F                           Bb    A 
The only common thread has been your disrespect 
         Dm 
Now you call me “amoral,” 
   Edim 
A “dangerous disgrace,” 
          Dm/F 
If you’ve got something to say 
        Bb 
Name a time and place 
A 
Face to face 
F                   Bb               C

Mr. Vice President: 

Ebm  
I am not the reason no one trusts you 
Fdim 
No one knows what you believe 
           Ebm/F# 
I will not equivocate on my opinion 
        B                    Bb 
I have always worn it on my sleeve 
          Ebm      
Even if I said what you think I said 
                  Fdim 
You would need to cite a more specific grievance 
          Ebm/F#                               B 
Here’s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements

Sweet Jesus 

Hamilton 
     Ebm 
Hey, I have not been shy 
                Fdim 
I am just a guy in the public eye 
                         Ebm/F# 
Tryin’ to do my best for our republic 
Ebm/F# 
I don’t wanna fight 
      B                     Bb 
But I won’t apologize for doing what’s right

Intemperate indeed, good man

Prepare to bleed, good man 

Hamilton 
Em 
Burr, your grievance is legitimate 
        Em/F# 
I stand by what I said, every bit of it 
    Em/G 
You stand only for yourself 
              C 
It’s what you do 
             B 
I can’t apologize because it’s true 

Burr

Then stand, Alexander

Weehawken. Dawn.
