Hurricane from Hamilton (by Lin-Manuel Miranda) [Intro] Dm C 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
