Washington On Your Side chords

[F] [Fsus4] [Ebsus4] [Eb]

[Burr]

[F]It must be [Fsus4]nice, it must be [Ebsus4]nice to have
[Eb]Washington on your side [F]
It must be ni[Fsus4]ce, it must be [Ebsus4]nice to have
[Eb]Washington on your side

[Jefferson]

[F]Ev’ry action has its equal, opposite reactions
[Eb]Thanks to Hamilton, our cab’net’s fractured into factions
[F]Try not to crack under the stress, we’re breaking down like fractions
[Eb]We smack each other in the press, and we don’t print retractions
[F/C]I get no satisfaction [Bbm/Db]witnessing his fits of passion
[Dm7]The way he primps and preens and dr[Eb7]esses like the pits of fashion
[F]Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration
[Eb]As Wall Street robs ‘em blind in search of chips to cash in
[F]This prick is askin’ for someone to bring him to task
[Ebsus4]Somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous [Eb]mass so we can at last unmask him
[F]I’ll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it
[Ebsus4]While we were all watching, he [Eb]got Washington in his pocket

[Jefferson and Burr]

[F]It must be [Fsus4]nice, it must be [Ebsus4]nice to have
[Eb]Washington on your side [F]
It must be ni[Fsus4]ce, it must be [Ebsus4]nice to have
[Eb]Washington on your side

[F/C]Look back at the [Bbm/Db]Bill of Rights


[Madison]

Which I wrote

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

[Dm7]The ink hasn’t d[Eb7]ried
[F]It must be nice, it must be nice [Eb]to have

Washington on your side

[Madison]

[F]So he’s doubled the size of the government
Wasn’t the trouble with much our previous g[Eb]overnment size?

[Burr]

Look in his eyes!

[Jefferson]

See how he lies

[Madison]
Follow the scent of his e[F]nterprise


[Jefferson]

Centralizing national credit
And making American cr[Ebsus4]edit competitive


[Madison]

If we don’t stop it we a[Eb]id and abet it


[Jefferson]

I have to resign

[Madison]

[F/C]Somebody has to stand up for the South!


[Burr]

[Bbm/Db]Somebody has to stand up to his mouth!


[Jefferson]

[Dm7]If there’s a fire you’re trying to douse


[Madison AND Jefferson]

You [Eb7]can’t put it out from inside the house


[Jefferson]

[F]I’m in the cabinet. I am complicit in

Watching him grabbin’ at power and kissin' it
[Eb]If Washington isn’t gon’ listen

To disciplined dissidents, this is the difference:

This kid is out!

[Madison/Burr/Jefferson]

[F]Oh!

This immigrant isn’t somebody we chose

[F/Eb]Oh!

This immigrant’s keeping us all on our toes

[F]Oh!

Let’s show these Federalists who they’re up against!

[F/Eb]Oh!

[Jefferson/Madison]

Southern motherfuckin’—

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

Democratic-Re[F/C]publicans!


[Jefferson/Madison/Burr/Ensemble]

Oh!

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

Let’s [Bbm/Db]follow the money and see where it goes


[Ensemble]

[Dm7] Oh!


[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

Because e[Eb7]very second the Treasury grows


[Ensemble]

[F/C] Oh!


[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

If we [Bbm/Db]follow the money and see where it l[Eb]eads

Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of

Hamilton’s misdeeds

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

[F]It must be nice. It must be n[Eb]ice


[Madison]

Follow the money and see where it goes

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

[F]It must be nice. It must be n[Eb]ice


[Jefferson]

The emperor has no clothes

[Jefferson/Madison/Burr]

[F/C]We won’t be inv[Bbm/Db]isible. [Dm7]We won’t be de[Eb7]nied

Still
[F]It must be nice, it must be n[Eb]ice to have

Washington on your side
