Break Section 1:
[HAMILTON & WASHINGTON]
D A G
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration,
Gm D
I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless
A G
Too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that
Gm
I may have committed many errors.
D A G
I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will
Gm
View them with indulgence; And that
D A G Gm
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
D
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
A
Consigned to oblivion, as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
Break Section 2:
D C
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself
D C
To realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens,
D C
The benign influence of good laws Under a free government, the ever-favorite object
G D C
Of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust
G Bb C
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.
D
One last time
