[Intro] EG#EG#
Oh, Miss Elphaba
[First Part]
EG#
Many years I have waited
EG#
For a gift like yours to appear
EG#
Why, I predict the Wizard might make you his
C#m
Magic grand vizier
EA
My dear, my dear
B/AE
I'll write at once to the Wizard
AB/AE
Tell him of you in advance
F#mG#mC#m
With a talent like yours, dear, there is
D/F#E
A definish chance
DF#m
If you work as you should
DED/F#F#D
You'll be making good
F#DG#C
Welcome to Shiz!
[Segunda Parte]
G#C
Did that really just happen?
G#C#FC
Have I actually understood?
G#C
This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
FmG#C#
Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard
BbmD#D#mG#F#
If I make good
CFCF
So I'll make good
CF
When I meet thе Wizard
CFG
Once I prove my worth
CAm
And then I meet thе Wizard
DmG
What I've waited for since, well, since birth
CF
And with all his Wizard wisdom
CEm
By my looks, he won't be blinded
BbC
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
BbG
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded? No!
[Chorus]
Am7Dm7GC
He'll say to me, "I see who you truly are
Am7Dm7G
A girl on whom I can rely"
CC/EF
And that's how we'll begin
CDm7GCDm7G
The Wizard and I
[Terceira Parte]
CDmG
Once I'm with the Wizard
CDmG
My whole life will change
CDmAm
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
Dm7G
No one thinks you're strange
CDm7Gm7
No father is not proud of you
CEm
No sister acts ashamed
BbC
And all of Oz has to love you
BbG
When, by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
[Chorus]
Am7Dm7GC
And this gift or this curse I have inside
Am7Dm7G
Maybe, at last, I'll know why
CF
As we work hand in hand
A
The Wizard and I
[Chorus]
DC#m7
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
DC#m7
A girl who is so superior
FEm7
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Dm7Em7
Have a matching exterior?
CD#FBb
And since folks here to an absurd degree
CD#FBb
Seem fixated on your verdigris
C#C
Would it be alright by you
Bbm7C
If I de-greenify you?"
[Chorus]
Am7Dm7GC
And though, of course, that's not important to me
Am7Dm7G
"Alright, why not?", I'll reply
CF
Oh, what a pair we'll be
Am7Dm7G
The Wizard and I
CF
Yes, what a pair we'll be
B
The Wizard and—
[Bridge]
F#
Unlimited
D#m7BC#F#
My future is un-limi-ted
BF#D#m
And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy
BmF#
I know it sounds truly crazy
C#B
And true, the vision's hazy
AD
But I swear, someday, there'll be
F#F
A celebration throughout Oz
C#BbGm7C7
That's all to do with me
[Quarta Parte]
BC#mF#
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
BC#mF#
Feeling the things I've never felt
BG#m7
And though I'd never show it
C#m7F#
I'd be so happy I could melt
[Chorus]
G#mC#mF#mD#m
And so it will be for the rest of my life
G#mC#mF#
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
BE
Held in such high esteem
CF
When people see me, they will scream
CG#
For half of Oz's favorite team
CDmGAm
The Wizard and I
