(This is my first tab/chord, so be forewarned of some slight miscalculations with beat.
I tried to match it up as close as I could with the Original Broadway Recording.
If there are any corrections,
this is open to be corrected. Have fun and don't throw away your shot :D)

And DmI'm Ebnot throwing away my shot

I'mma get Gmscholarship to King's College
I proGmbably shoAmuldn't brag, but dBbag, I amaze and astonish
The pBbroblem is BdimI got a Cmlot of brains, but no polish
I gCmotta holleDmr just to be hEbeard
With every word I drop knowledge
I'm a Gmdiamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
AmTryin' to Bbreach my goal, my power of speech: unimpeachabBdimle Cm
Only nineteen, but my Dmmind is older
These EbNew York City streets getDting colder, I shoulder
Ev'ry Gmburden, ev'ry disadvantage
I have learned to manageAm. I doBbn't have a gun to brandish
N/A
I walk these streets famished
The Cmplan is to fan this Dmspark into a flame
But dEbamn, it's getting dark, so leDt me spell out my name
I am the—

[HAMILTON]
A colCmony that runs independentDmly
Meanwhile, D#Britain keeps shitting oDn us endlessly
EssentGmially, they tax us relentlessly
AmThen King BbGeorge turns around, runs a spending spree
BdimHe ain't Cmnever gonna set his Dmdescendants free
So there will Ebbe a revolution Din this century
N/A
ENTER ME!
[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN]
(He Gmsays in parentheses)
[HAMILTON]

EvEbentually you'll see my asDcendancy

[LAFAYETTE]
GmI dream of life without the monarGmchyAm
BbThe unrest in France will lead to "onaBbrchyBdim"
Cm"Onarchy?" How you say, how you s—Oh, CmanarDmchy!D#
When I fight I make the other side Dpanicky

GmShot!
[MULLIGAN]
GmYo, I'm a tailor's apprenticeAm
And I Bbgot y'all knuckleheads in loco parenBdimtis

To sEbocially advance, instead of sDewin' some pants
I'm gonna take a

GmShot!
[LAURENS]
Eh, but we'll Gmnever be truly freeAm
UntBbil those in bondage have the same rights as you and mBdime
CmYou and I, do or die, wait till I sally inDm on a sEbtallion
With the first Dblack battalion
Have another
[HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE]
GmShot!
[BURR]
GmGeniuses, lower your voiGmcesAm
You Bbkeep out of trouble, and you doubleBb your Bdimchoices
I'm Cmwith you, but the situatCmion isDm fraught
You've got to be carefully tEbaught:
Gm (once)
If you talk, you're gonna get shot!
[HAMILTON]
GmBurr, check what we gotAm
Mr. BbLafayette hard rock like LancelotBdim
I think your Cmpants look hot
LaureDmns, I like you a lot
Let's hatch a Ebplot blacker than the kettle Dcallin' the pot
What are the Gmodds the gods would put us all in one spot Am
BbPoppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
BdimA bunch of Cmrevolutionary manumDmission aboEblitionists
N/A
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is
Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I'll make y'all proud
[LAURENS]
Let's get this guy in front of a crowd!

[HAMILTON]
I imagine Gmdeath so much it feels more like a memory
When's it's gonna Bbget me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
CmIf I see it coming, do I run or do I let it be?
EbIs it like a beat without a Dmelody?
See, I never Gmthought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from Bbsome get half as many
Ask anybody Cmwhy we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
EbWe have to make this moment last, Dthat's plenty
GmScratch that
This is not a moment, it's the movemAment Bb
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to Bdimprove went
CmFoes oppose us, we take an honest sDmtand
EbWe roll like Moses, Dclaimin' our Promised Land
GmAnd? If we win our independAmence?
Bb'Zat a guarantee of freedom for our descenBdimdants?
CmOr will the blood we shed begin an endlDmess
EbCycle of vengeance and dDeath with no defendants?
GmI know the action in the street is excitin'
But Jesus,Bb between all the bleedin' 'n fightin'
I've been readin' 'n writin' Cm
We need to handle our financial situatDmion
EbAre we a nation of states? WDhat's the state of our nation?
GmI'm past patiently waitin'! I'm pGmassionately sAmmashin' eBbvery expectation
Every action's Bban act Bdimof creation
I'm lCmaughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the Ebfirst time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow
