[Verse} Cm Ab I have never seen the General so despondent Amb5 Ab I have taken over writing all his correspondence Cm Ab Congress writes, "George, attack the British forces." Amb5 Ab I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses Cm Ab Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance Amb5 Ab They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence Cm Ab The cavalry's not coming But, sir! Alex, listen. Amb5 Ab There's only one way for us to win this Cm Ab Provoke outrage, outright Amb5 Ab Don't engage, strike by night Cm Ab Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight Amb5 Ab Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight Cm Ab Outrun Outlast Amb5 Ab Hit 'em quick, get out fast Cm Ab Stay alive 'til this horror show is past Amb5 Ab We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast Raise a glass! Cm Ab I go back to New York and my apprenticeship Amb5 Ab I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship Cm Ab I stay at work with Hamilton We write essays against slavery Amb5 Ab And every day's a test of our camaraderie And bravery Cm Ab We cut supply lines, we steal contraband Amb5 Ab We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand Cm Ab And every day "Sir, entrust me with a command," Amb5 Ab And every day No He dismisses me out of hand Cm Ab Instead of me He promotes Charles Lee Amb5 Ab Makes him second-in-command, I'm a General.
