Chords for Leslie Odom, Jr. - Dear Theodosia and Cheer Up Charlie [Oct. 31, 2015 @ The Morris-Jumel Mansion]

Anybody seen the show yet? _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Call me if you need house seats.
Anybody else? _
_ _ _ They're very easy to get.
Don't believe what you hear. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But this this song is I _ _ _ think
_ _ _ _ _
The most beautiful thing about what Lynn and the team have done is that they put empathy back into history _ _ _
they _ _ _
Have connected us to these guys.
They made their concerns _ our concerns.
They showed us that they were _
_ _ _ _ Brash and petty and _ _
_ _ Arrogant and intelligent and bold
Just like us on our best day and us on our worst day
And so what we you know, we literally get to stand in their shoes again, and he's done a lot for Burr
You know, he's done a lot to humanize this guy
That people have villainized for _ a
_ _ _ Long long time.
So _ this song goes a long way into doing that the song that Aaron sings
_ _ to his newborn baby girl when she's born and _ _
and Hamilton also _
_ Sings a verse.
I don't have Lynn here today, but I have Robin who plays in our pit at Hamilton _

Dear _ _ Theodosia, what [Dbm] to say to you?
_ [Gbm] _ You have my _ eyes
[A] You have your mother's name
When you came into the world you _
[Dbm] cried
And it broke [Gbm] my _ _ _ _ heart
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
I dedicate _ _ [Dbm] every day to you [Gbm] _ _ Domestic _ life
[A] Was never quite my [E] style
[A] When you smile _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ You knock me out
I [Gbm] thought I'd come
And I thought I [A] was so small
_ _ [E] You will come of age
Without me or [Dbm] _ _ _ patience
There'll be [Gbm] a type of you _
Who'll [A] make it right for you
[E] If [A] you let us start
Without _ [Dbm] _ foundation
_ _ If I [Gbm] say no to you
We'll give [A] the world to you
And you'll do [E] us all [A] good
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm]
Someday _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ Someday _ _
_ [A] _ _ Yeah you'll do [E] us [A] all good

Last _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ time [B] you come to the mansion
[G] It's [Ab] a nice place to have lunch
[C] _ _
On the grass
A nice [Ab] place to visit
It's nice to [Eb] remind ourselves
[G] How much history _ surrounds us
In this great _ city [Gm] that we live in _
This next [G] song, the last song that I'll do
is from my debut album
called Leslie Odom Jr.
[F] Very easy to remember
[E] _ _
_ It's available on [G] iTunes
and wherever music is sold online _
_ _ _ But _
_ there is actually a connection
to the show with this _
with the album [N] because
_ _ _ _ _ _
there's no way
that I would be able to
there's things that I'm able to access at this point
in the show emotionally
and just a greater understanding
of who I am [Gb] that I found
_ [G] really in this [C] exploration
_ _ this musical [B] exploration
that I started a couple years ago with my producer
Jason Tate [F] who's here so we're very proud of the music _
When we were putting
together our song list
this was one of the songs I brought to Joseph
I [B] said, you know, I kind of have never forgotten about
this tune from my childhood
Maybe [N] it'll work, maybe it won't, it's weird
but _ there's this song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
_ _ that a lot of people
don't like but I always loved
_ [F] when his mother's doing the laundry
and she's stirring the pot
full of laundry and he comes in and he's so sad
and she sings in this song
and sometimes I [Eb] would sing it to myself
to sort of cheer myself up so
if anybody in here is down
_ today, [G] _
this is for you on Halloween

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Give me a _ smile
[Gm] _ What happened [C]
to the smile
[F] _
I [Fm] used to know
_ _ No, _ _ _ you know your grin
_ _ [Gm] Has always [Eb] been my sunshine
_ _ [F] _ _ _
Let _ _ that sunshine
[Bb] _ _ show _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Come on Charlie
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm]
No _ _ _ [Eb] need
to _ frown
[Gm] _
Deep [C] down you know
Tomorrow _ _ is [Fm] your _ toy _ _
_ _ _ _ When the days get heavy
_ [Gm] _ _ _ Never _ [Cm] pit a _ _ [F] pattern _ _ _ _ Up
[Eb] _ and at a boy Stirring laundry
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ Someday _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] Sweet
_ [Ab] as a _ _ _ song _ _ _ Charlie's lucky _ _ [G] day
Will [Gm]

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] Till that day you've gotta
[Fm] _ stand _ _ _ strong _ Charlie
