Chords for The Wizard And I (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003 / Audio)

_ Oh, Miss Elphaba, [F#] _ many years [A#] I have waited _ [F#] for a gift like [A#] yours to appear.
_ [F#] Why, I predict the wizard could make you his _
[D#m] magic _ grand vizier. _
[F#] My dear, my dear, _ [C#] I'll write at once [F#] to the wizard.
[B] _ Tell him of [G#] you [F#] in [G#m] advance.
With a talent [A#m] like yours, [D#m] dear, there is [E] a deafenish chance.
If you work as [G#m] you _ should, _ _
[E] _ [F#] you'll be [E] _ making _
[G#] good. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Did that really [C] just happen?
_ _ [Fm] Have I actually _
[C] understood?
_ This [G#] weird quirk I've tried [C] to suppress or hide [Fm] is a talent that _ [G#] could help me meet the wizard.
[C#] _ _ _ [A#m] _
[D#] If I [Cm] make _ good, _ _ [F#] _ so _ I'll make [C] _ _ _ _ _ good.
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ When I meet the wizard, _ _ _ once I prove my worth, _
_ _ then I [Am] meet the wizard, _ [Dm] what I've waited [C] for since [G] birth. _
[D] And with all his wizard wisdom, [C] by my looks he won't [Em] be blind.
Do [A#] you think the wizard [C] is dumb?
Or [A#] like Munchkin, so [G] small-minded?
No, he'll [Dm] say to me, I [G] see who you [C] truly are, a girl [Am] on whom I [G] _ can trust.
And [C] that's how we'll [F] be in the [C] wizard and [Dm] I.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Dm] Once I'm [G] with the wizard, _ _ _ [Dm] my whole [G] life will _ [C] change.
Because [Bm] once you're [Am] with the wizard, _
[Dm] _ _ things sure [G] are [D] strange.
[C] No, [Dm] father is [Gm] not proud of you.
[C] _
No, [Bm] sister acts ashamed. _
[F] And all of us [C] have to learn to be true.
When [A#] by the wizard's _ [G] _ name [Am] and this [Dm] gift or this [G] _ _ _ [C] _
creed,
maybe [Dm] at last I'll [G] know why [C] when we are hand [F] in hand, the wizard [A] and I. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] One day he'll say to me, [C#] Elphaba, _ _ [D]
a girl who is so [C#m] superior,
_ [F] _
shouldn't a girl _ [Em] good inside _ [Dm]
have a [Bm] matching exterior?
[Cm] And since [A#] folks here to [F] an officer degree seem [A#]
fixated [F] on your verdigris,
[C#] would it be all right [C] by _ you [F] if I _ degreen?
[D] If I, you, [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G]
are not [C] important to me, all [Dm] right, why not?
[G] I, _ _ oh, what [C] a pair [F] we'll be, the wizard [Dm] and _ [G] _
I.
_ [C] Yes, what a pair [F] we'll be, the [B] wizard and _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
unlimited.
_ _ _ _ My [D#m] future is _ [F#] unlimited. _ _ _
And I've just had a vision, [A#] almost like a [D#m] prophecy, _ [G#] _ I know.
[F#] It sounds [C#] truly crazy _ and true.
The [B] vision's hazy, _ [A] but I [A] swear someday [D] there'll be [F#] a celebration [F] throughout Oz.
[G#] That's all to _ do _ [A#] with me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ Feelings, _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ and [F#] more I'll [G#m] never show it.
I'd be so [B] happy I [F#] could melt.
And [C#m] so it will [F#] be for the [B] rest of my life.
[G#m] And I want nothing [F#] else till I die.
[B] Held in such high [E] _
esteem.
When [C] people see me they [F] will [C] scream.
For half of Oz is guaranteed.
[Fm] _ _
