The Wizard And I

Intro 2x: Ab  C/Ab

Ab                    C/Ab
Did that really just happen?
Fm                     C
Have I actually understood?
            Ab
This weird quirk I've tried
      C/Ab
To suppress or hide
      Fm
Is a talent that could
Ab7                Db        Bbm
Help me meet the Wizard
   Ebm    Cm
If I make good
Gb             C    Dm   G7
So I'll make good:

Solo: G/C  C  Dm  G7  G/C

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?
            Am       Dm
No! He'll say to me:
 Dm7      G/B        C/E
“I see who you truly are:
   Am7           Dm7      G
A girl on whom I can rely!"
  G   C      Dm  C/E     F
And that's how we'll begin
F                     C   Dm7  G  C  Dm7  G  C
The Wizard and I:

C      Dm              G
Once I'm with the Wizard
C   Dm7               G
My whole life will change
Continues after the ad
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/Bb                  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
         Dd                    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
Abdim   Gb                   Db9
I know - it sounds truly crazy
        Gb                    Db9
And true, the vision's hazy
  A      A7+           A6            D9
But I swear, someday there'll be
Db                   F
A celebration throughout Oz
         B/Db           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
F               C               Fm
For half of Oz's fav'rite team:
Gm
The Wizard
      C  Dm7  G  Am  F  Db  B   C
And I!
