The World Was Wide Enough chords

[Company] ;[N.C.]One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine...

[Burr] :There are ten things you need to know...

[Company] ;[Fm]Number one!

[Burr] :We rowed across the [Cm/G]Hudson at dawn
[Fm/Ab]My friend William. P Van Ne[Bbm]ss signed on as my-

[Company] ;[Fm]Number two!

[Burr] :I watched Hamilton [Cm/G]arrive with his crew
[Fm/Ab]Nathaniel Pendleton and a [Bbm]doctor that he knew

[Company] ;[Fm]Number three!

[Burr] :I watched Hamilton [Cm/G]examine the terrain
[Fm/Ab]I wish I could tell you what was [Bbm]happening in his brain
[Fm]This man has poisoned my [Cm/G]political pursuits

[Company] ;[Fm]Most disputes [Cm/G]die and [Fm/Ab]no one [Bbm]shoots!
[Fm]Number four!

[Burr] :Hamilton [Cm/G]drew first position
[Fm/Ab]Looking to the world like a [Bbm]man on a mission
[Fm]This is a soldier with a [Cm/G]marksman's ability
[Fm/Ab]The doctor turned around so he could [Bbm]have deniability

[Company] ;[Fm]Five!

[Burr] :Now I didn't [Cm/G]know this at the time but we were-

[Burr & :[Fm/Ab]Near the same spot your [Bbm]son died is that why-
Hamilton]

[Company] ;[Fm]Six!

[Burr] :He examined his [Cm/G]gun with such rigor
[Fm/Ab]I watched as he methodically [Bbm]fiddled with the trigger

[Company] ;[Fm]Seven!

[Burr] :Confession time! [Cm/G]Here's what I got
[Fm/Ab]My fellow soldiers will tell you I'm a [Bbm]terrible shot

[Company] ;[Fm]Number eight!

[Burr & :Your last chance [Cm/G]to negotiate
Hamilton] [Fm/Ab] [Bbm]
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

[Burr] :[N.C.]They won't teach you this in your classes
But look it up Hamilton was wearing his glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim
It's him or me, the world will never be the same
I had only one thought before the slaughter
This man will not make an orphan of my daughter

[Company] ;[Fm]Number nine!

[Burr] :Look him in the [Cm/G]eye, aim no higher
[Fm/Ab]Summon all the courage you [Bbm]require

Then count-

[Company] ;[N.C.]One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine-
Number ten! Paces! FIRE!

[Hamilton] ;[N.C.]I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me? On my feet, several feet ahead of me
I see it coming do I run or fire my gun or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody
Burr, my first friend, my enemy
Maybe the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot is this how you'll remember me?
What if this bullet is my legacy? Legacy?!?!
What is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song a someone will sing for me
America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even orphaned immigrants can leave their fingerprints
And rise up
I'm running out of time, I'm running and my time's up
Wise up! Eyes up!
I catch a glimpse of the other side
Laurens leads a soldiers chorus on the other side
My son is on the other side
He's with my mother on the other side
Washington is watching from the other side
Teach me how to say goodbye, rise up, rise up
Rise up, Eliza!
My love take your time, I'll see you on the other side
Rise a glass to freedom...

[Burr] : [N.C.]He aims his pistol at the sky wait!
Db, Bbm, Fm/C
I strike him right between his ribs
Db, Bbm, Fm
I walk towards him but I am ushered away
Db, Bbm, Fm/C
They row him back across the Hudson
Db, Bbm, Fm
I get a drink
Db, Bbm, Fm/C
I hear wailing in the streets
Db, Bbm, Fm
Somebody tells me "you'd better hide"
Db, Bbm, Fm/C
They say Angelica and Eliza
Db, Bbm
Were both at his side when he died...
[Bbm]Death doesn't discriminate [Dbsus]between the [Db]sinners and the saints
[Absus]It takes and it [Ab]takes and it takes and
[Bbm]History obliterates, [Dbsus]in every [Db]picture it [Gbsus]paints
It p[Gb]aints me and all my mistakes
[Bbm]When Alexander [Dbsus]aimed at the [Db]sky, he [Absus]may have been the first one to [Ab]die
But I'm the one who [Bbm]paid for it [Dbsus]
I sur[Db]vived but I[Ab] paid for it
[Bbm]Now I'm the [Dbsus]villian i[Db]n your h[Absus]istory [Ab]
[Bbm]I was too [Dbsus]young and [Db]blin[Gbsus]d to see [Gb]
[Bbm]I should'v[Dbsus]e know[Db]n, [Absus]I should've [Ab]known
The world was [Bbm]wide enough for both [Dbsus]Hamilt[Db]on [Absus]and me[Ab]
The world was [Bbm]wide enough for both [Db]Hamilton and [Gb]me...
