another slip C Guns and horses giddyup C I decide to divvy up Am My forces they're skittish as the British cut the city up C This close to giving up facing mad scrutiny Ab I scream in the face of this mass mutiny Cm Are these the men with which I am to defend America Cm We ride at midnight Manhattan in the distance Cm I cannot be everywhere at once people Gm I'm in dire need of assistance Cm Your excellency sir Cm Who are you Cm Aaron Burr Sir Gm Permission to state my case Gm As you were Ab Sir I was a captain under General Montgomery Fm Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec Bb And well in summary Cm I think that I could be of some assistance Gm I admire how you keep firing on the British Gm From a distance Ab Fm Bb Huh I have some questions a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west Bb Yes Well Cm Your excellency you wanted to see me Gm Hamilton come in have you met Burr Gm Yes sir Gm We keep meeting Ab As I was saying sir I look forward to seeing your strategy play out Ab Burr Sir Cm Close the door on your way out Ab Have I done something wrong sir Ab On the contrary Gm I called you here because our odds are beyond scary Ab Your reputation precedes you but I have to laugh Ab Sir Hamilton how come no one can get you on their staff Cm Sir Don't get me wrong you're a young man of great renown Gm I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown Ab Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you Fm Bb To be their Secretary I don't think so Cm Why're you upset Cm I'm not Gm It's alright you want to fight you've got a hunger Gm I was just like you when I was younger Ab Head full of fantasies of dyin' like a martyr Bb7 Yes Dying is easy young man Bb7 Living is harder C Why are you telling me this C I'm being honest Gm7 Gm I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised Ab We are a powder keg about to explode F I need someone like you to lighten the load Bb Cm Abmaj7 So I am not throwin' away my shot ■ Abmaj7 I am not throwin' away my shot C Ayo I'm just like my country I'm young [Chorus] C Scrappy and hungry Cm I am not throwing away my shot Cm Son We are outgunned outmanned C Cm You need all the help you can get C I have some friends Laurens Mulligan C Marquis de Lafayette okay what else C Outnumbered outplanned C We'll need some spies on the inside Am C Some King's men who might let some things slide C I'll write to Congress and tell 'em we need supplies C You rally the guys master the element of surprise C I'll rise above my station organize your information C 'til we rise to the occasion of our new nation sir C Here comes the general C Rise up C Here comes the general Am Rise up Cm Here comes the general Cm Rise up Fm Here comes the general Gm Gm ■ And his right hand man C Boom ■ [End]
