Mr. President, you asked to see me?

[WASHINGTON]
                  F#m
I know you're busy?
[HAMILTON]
                      E
What do you need, sir? Sir??
[WASHINGTON]
                           F#m
I wanna give you a word of warning

Sir, I don't know what you heard

But whatever it is, Jefferson started it

Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning

[HAMILTON]
You're kidding

F#m            E
I need a favor

[HAMILTON]
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior

[WASHINGTON] 
    F#m
Shh. Talk less

[HAMILTON]
I'll use the press

I'll write under a pseudonym, you'll see what I can do to him—

I need you to draft an address

Yes! He resigned. You can finally speak your mind—

[WASHINGTON]
   D                                    C#5
No, he's stepping down so he can run for President

Ha. Good luck defeating you, sir

I'm stepping down. I'm not running for President

I'm sorry, what?

Chorus:
[WASHINGTON]
A        G
One last time
  D           E
Relax, have a drink with me
A        G
One last time
             D       E
Let's take a break tonight

And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye

To say goodbye

You and I

Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time—

I want to warn against partisan fighting

[HAMILTON]
But—

[WASHINGTON]

Pick up a pen, start writing

The hard-won wisdom I have earned

As far as the people are concerned

You have to serve, you could continue to serve—

The people will hear from me

One last time
          D        E
And if we get this right
            A                E
We're gonna teach 'em how to say

Goodbye

You and I—

[HAMILTON]
    D
Mr. President, they will say you're weak

[WASHINGTON]

No, they will see we're strong

[HAMILTON]
Your position is so unique

[WASHINGTON]
        C                    
So I'll use it to move them along

[HAMILTON]
D
Why do you have to say goodbye?

[WASHINGTON]
     C                                      D
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
                        G     Bb
It outlives me when I'm gone
         C
Like the scripture says:
C#m                            E            D  Dsus2 A
Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
          A                        F#m
And no one shall make them afraid.'
           E           D            A     A F#m
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
                     E            D        A
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
         A            F#m
A moment alone in the shade
   E                         D
At home in this nation we've made
         A
One last time

[HAMILTON]
              G    A
One last time

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

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
