It must be nice, it must be nice to have 
Eb                      F 
Washington on your side

It must be nice, it must be nice to have 
Eb 
Washington on your side 

(JEFFERSON) 
F 
Ev’ry action has its equal, opposite reactions 
Eb 
Thanks to Hamilton, our cab’net’s fractured into factions 
F 
Try not to crack under the stress, we’re breaking down like fractions 
Eb 
We smack each other in the press, and we don’t print retractions 
F/C                   Bbm/Db 
I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion 
Dm7                                Eb7 
The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion 
F 
Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration 
Eb 
As Wall Street robs ’em blind in search of chips to cash in 
F 
This prick is askin’ for someone to bring him to task 
Ebsus4                                   Eb 
Somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him 
F 
I’ll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it 
Ebsus4                         Eb 
While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket 


(JEFFERSON AND BURR)

It must be nice, it must be nice to have 
Eb                      F 
Washington on your side

It must be nice, it must be nice to have 
Eb 
Washington on your side 

F/C              Bbm/Db 
Look back at the Bill of Rights 

(MADISON) 
Which I wrote 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
Dm7             Eb7 
The ink hasn’t dried 
F                                Eb 
It must be nice, it must be nice to have 

Washington on your side 


(MADISON) 
F 
So he’s doubled the size of the government 
                                           Eb 
Wasn’t the trouble with much our previous government size? 

(BURR) 
Look in his eyes! 

(JEFFERSON) 
See how he lies 


(MADISON) 
                         F 
Follow the scent of his enterprise 


(JEFFERSON) 

Centralizing national credit 
                      Ebsus4 
And making American credit competitive 


(MADISON) 
                        Eb 
If we don’t stop it we aid and abet it 

(JEFFERSON) 
I have to resign 

(MADISON) 
F/C 
Somebody has to stand up for the South! 

(BURR) 
Bbm/Db 
Somebody has to stand up to his mouth! 

(JEFFERSON) 
Dm7 
If there’s a fire you’re trying to douse 


(MADISON AND JEFFERSON) 
    Eb7 
You can’t put it out from inside the house 


(JEFFERSON) 
F 
I’m in the cabinet. I am complicit in 

Watching him grabbin’ at power and kissin' it 
Eb 
If Washington isn’t gon’ listen 

To disciplined dissidents, this is the difference: 

This kid is out! 


(MADISON/BURR/JEFFERSON) 
F 
Oh! 

This immigrant isn’t somebody we chose 

F/Eb 
Oh! 

This immigrant’s keeping us all on our toes 

F 
Oh! 

Let’s show these Federalists who they’re up against! 

F/Eb 
Oh! 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON) 
Southern motherfuckin’’ 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
             F/C 
Democratic-Republicans! 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR/ENSEMBLE) 
Oh! 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
      Bbm/Db 
Let’s follow the money and see where it goes 

(ENSEMBLE) 
Dm7 
    Oh! 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
         Eb7 
Because every second the Treasury grows 

(ENSEMBLE) 
F/C 
   Oh! 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
      Bbm/Db                             Eb 
If we follow the money and see where it leads 

Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of 

Hamilton’s misdeeds 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
F                            Eb 
It must be nice. It must be nice 

(MADISON) 
Follow the money and see where it goes 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
F                            Eb 
It must be nice. It must be nice 

(JEFFERSON) 
The emperor has no clothes 

(JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR) 
F/C            Bbm/Db  Dm7           Eb7 
We won’t be invisible. We won’t be denied 

Still 
F                            Eb 
It must be nice, it must be nice to have 

Washington on your side
