Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?

You have my eyes
Dmaj7
You have your mother's name
E         A                      C#m
When you came into the world you cried

And it broke my heart

When you smile

You knock me out, I fall apart
                      Dmaj7
And I thought I was so smart

You will come of age with our young nation

We'll bleed and fight for you
               Dmaj7
We'll make it right for you

If we lay a strong enough foundation

We'll pass it on to you

We'll give the world to you

And you'll blow us all away

Look at my son

Pride is not the word I'm looking for
                 Esus4          E
There is so much more inside me now
A   C#m                            F#m7
Oh, Phillip you outshine the morning sun
  Esus4  E
My son

When you smile
       F#m
I fall apart

And I thought I was so smart

I transposed it up 3 steps so it started with C and it was easier for me to sing higher. Then I got halfway through the song and got all choked up and teary. Guess that means the chords are right. Thanks :P

If you would like a high version with easy chords. Transpose the song 3x higher than simplify the chords!

I like this one, it is accurate to the original key although transposing up helps since my singing range is above Burr's. If you have heard the Regina Spektor cover on the Hamilton Mix Tape and want to do her version, put a capo on 5 and it will be in the key she uses!
