          Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
          N.C.
[Burr]   :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]:FmNumber nine!
[Burr]   :Look him in the Cm/Geye, aim no higher

[Hamilton]: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...

           Db, Bbm, Fm/C
                         I strike him right between his ribs
           Db, Bbm, Fm   
                         I walk towards him but I am ushered away
