Help me meet the Wizard

If I make good

When I meet the Wizard,

Once I prove my worth

And then I'll meet the Wizard
Dm C/FG4
What I've waited for since,
G
Since birth!
G/C C Dm/C G7/C G
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
C Em
By my looks, he won't be blinded.
Bb/F C/G
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Bb/F G
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
Am
No! He'll say to me,
Dm G/B C/E
"I see who you truly are -
Am Dm
A girl on whom I can rely!"
G C Dm7 C/E F
And that's how we'll begin

No sister acts ashamed

And all of Oz has to love you
C F Bb7
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 as
C Dm7 C/E
we are hand in hand -
F A7+
The Wizard and I!
D C#m11
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
D9 C#m11
A girl who is so superior,
F9+ Em7
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Dm Em
Have a matching exterior?
Cm Bb F Bb/D
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Cm Bb F Bb/D
Seem fixated on your verdigris.
Db C
Would it be all right by you
Bbm7C4 C
If I â?¦.. de-greenified you?"
Am
And though of course,
Dm G/B C
That's not important to me.
Am Dm G
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
C C/D C/E F
Oh, what a pair we'll be
Am Dm
The Wizard and I

Unlimited
Ebm B9 Gb9
My future is unlimited

And I've just had a vision
Bbm11 Ebm11
Almost like a prophecy
Abº Gb Db4/9
I know - it sounds truly crazy
Gb Db9
And true, the vision's hazy
A9 A7 A6 D
But I swear, someday there'll be

A celebration throughout Oz

That's all to do with me!

Feeling things I've never felt

For the rest of my life

And I!
