Hurricane from Hamilton (by Lin-Manuel Miranda)
[Intro]
DmC G
x2
(HAMILTON)
Dm
In the eye of a hurricane
C G
There is quiet
Dm
For just a moment
C G
A yellow sky
Dm
When I was seventeen a hurricane
C G
Destroyed my town
Dm
I didn’t drown
C G
I couldn’t seem to die
F
I wrote my way out
Fsus4 Dm
Wrote everything down far as I could see
F
I wrote my way out
Fsus4 F Csus4 C
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
Dm
They passed a plate around
C/E
Total strangers
Dm/F Fsus2 G
Moved to kindness by my story
Dm F
Raised enough for me to book passage on a
C
Ship that was New York bound…
D5 F5
I wrote my way out of hell
G5
I wrote my way to revolution
A5 C5 D5
I was louder than the crack in the bell
F5 G5
I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
A5 C5 D5
I wrote about the Constitution and defended it well
F5 G5
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
A5 C5 D5
I wrote financial systems into existence
F
And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
G
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance
Dm
In the eye of a hurricane
C G
There is quiet
Dm
For just a moment
C G
A yellow sky
Dm
I was twelve when my mother died
C G
She was holding me
Dm
We were sick and she was holding me
C G
I couldn’t seem to die
Dm
(BURR)
Dm

I'll write my way / it, wait for it...

Write everything / it, wait for it...

/ Wait for it, wait for / History has its eyes
/ it, wait for it, wait... / on you
Dm
I'll write my way
out...
Dm/C
Overwhelm them
with honesty
(HAMILTON)
Dm/A Dm/G
This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only
Way I can protect my legacy…
(COMPANY)
Dm/A
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait…
