[B] How does a [B] bastard, orphan, son of a whore [Gb] and a Scotsman
Dropped in the middle of a forgotten [G] spot in the Caribbean
By Providence, [D] impoverished and squalor Grow up to [Bb] be a hero and a scholar
Well [B] the word got around, they say this kid is insane, [Gb] man
Took a book collection just to send him to the mainland
[G] Get your education, don't forget from which you came
[D] And the world's gonna know your [Gb] name, what's your name, man?
[Bm] Alexander Hamilton, [G] we are waiting in the wings for you
[E] You can never back down, you'll never learn to [Gb] take your time
Oh, [Bm]

Now [G] I'm getting scholarship to King's College
I'm polishing a [Bb] grad, but that guy may as well astonish
The [B] problem is [Cm] I have a lot of brains but no polish
