Hamilton - I Have This Friend Ukulele chords by Soundtracks

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Dm  C G
     Mr. President, do you have a minute?
Dm                   C        A
   Yeah, what is it, Mr. Secretary?
                Dm
I have this friend
       C     G
He's quite a guy
Dm                                   C       A
     He's in a bit of a bind and he needs advice

How can I help you-
               Dm
Not me, this friend, it's a friend

All right
              C    G
He's in the public eye
     Dm
Well, did something wrong
        C         A
And he paid the price, expensive price
        Dm                      C
Made a mistake in his personal life
                G
And now it's bleeding over into the professional
      Dm                   C
His enemies are said to strike
                   A
With news that's suited to a church confessional
           Dm
What they think they know
C                             G
Isn't what happened and they know I know
                           Dm          C      A
They won't stop until the world turns upside down
          Dm
So this friend?

Yup
           C      G
Did he break the law?
       Dm
No sir,   what he did was private
    C       A
And no one saw. No one saw? No one saw!
         Dm
Then your friend
            C   G
Should just move on
            Dm               C                 A
Don't respond, stay quiet until these men are gone-
                                     Dm
But he can't just not respond, these men
           C                       G
Whisper again and again until his reputation's in the mud
      Dm                  C
These men, these envious venomous men
          A
Won't let go the scent till they taste blood.
            Dm
But do they need to know?
        C           G
If he's really done nothing wrong

It doesn't matter if
 Dm             C      A
The world turns upside down
      Dm
Calm down
                         C
Damned if I do or if I don't
                G
But I won't be accused of financial impropriety
G
I don't see how
 Dm                        C
They can take away what I say
                        A
If I say it first they can make it worse with their rank, false piety
Dm
People will make fun of this
     C
But I can get in front of this
G
I can take the pain and shame
                     Dm
But I will clear my name
       C                   A
I will show them all in the end
              Dm
You mean your, friend?
             C   G
Yeah, I mean my friend
      Dm                                C           A
He's come too far for them to drag him through the dirt
                       Dm
Well I don't know your friend
       C          G
But I know you're MY friend
Dm                   C             A                           Dm
    Alexander, be careful who you hurt, who you hurt, who you hurt
