Introduction:
Ab C
Did that really just happen?
Fm C
Have I actually understood?
Ab
This weird quirk I've tried
C
To suppress or hide
Fm
Is a talent that could
Ab7 Db Bbm
Help me meet the Wizard
Ebm Cm
If I make good
C Dm G7 G/C
When I meet the Wizard
C Dm G7
Once I prove my worth
C C/B Am
And then I meet the Wizard
Dm C/F G
What I've waited for since… Since birth!
G/C C Dm G7/C
And with all his Wizard wisdom
G/C C Em
By my looks, he won't be blinded
Bb7 C/G
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Bb7 G
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
Am7 Dm7 G
A girl on whom I can rely!"
G C Dm C/E F
And that's how we'll begin
C Dm G
Once I'm with the Wizard
C Dm7 G
My whole life will change
C C/B Am7
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
Dm C/F G
No one thinks you're strange!
C Dm7 Gm
No father is not proud of you,
C C/B Em7
No sister acts ashamed
F C F/C
And all of Oz has to love you
C F Bb G
When by the Wizard you're acclaimed
G Am7 Dm7
And this gift - or this curse –
G/B C/E
I have inside
Am7 Dm7 G
Maybe at last, I'll know why
G C Dm7 C
When we are hand and hand -
F Am
The Wizard and I!
D C#m
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,
D C#m
A girl who is so superior
F Em7
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Dm7 Em7
Have a matching exterior?
Cm Bb F Bb
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Cm Bb F Bb/D
Seem fixated on your verdigris
C
Would it be all right by you
Bbm7 C
If I de-greenify you?"
Am
And though of course
G/B C/E
That's not important to me
Am7 Dm7 G
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
G C C/E
Oh, what a pair we'll be
F Am Dm7 G
The Wizard and I…
G C C/E
Yes, what a pair we'll be
F
The Wizard and…
B Ebm
Unlimited
B Gb
My future is unlimited…
B
And I've just had a vision
Bbm Ebm
Almost like a prophecy
Abº Gb Db9
I know - it sounds truly crazy
Gb Db9
And true, the vision's hazy
A A7M A6 D9
But I swear, someday there'll be
Db F
A celebration throughout Oz
B Bb Gm Bb
That's all to do with me!
C B B/C# B/F#
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
B B/C# B/F#
Feeling things I've never felt
B B/A# G#m B/G#
And though I'd never show it
G#m C#m B/E F#
I'll be so happy, I could melt!
G#m B
And so it will be
F#/A# B/D#
For the rest of my life
G#m B/C#
And I'll want nothing else
F#
Till I die
F# B C#m B/D# E
Held in such high esteem
E C Dm F
When people see me, they will scream
Gm
The Wizard
C Dm7 G Am F Db B C
And I!
