The Wizard and I Chords by Carole Shelley, Idina Menzel

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, Miss [Gb] Elphaba, _ _ many years [Bb] I have waited _ [Gb] for a gift like [Bb] yours to appear.
_ [Gb] Why, I predict the wizard could make you his [Ebm] _ magic _ grand vizier.
_ [Gb] My dear, [Ebm] my dear, _ I'll [Db] write at once [Gb] to the wizard.
[B] _ _ Tell him of [Gb] you in advance.
[Abm] _ With a talent [Bbm] like yours, [Gb] dear, there is [E] a _ deafenish chance.
If you work as [Abm] you should, _ _ _ [E] _
[Gb] you'll be [E] _ _ making [Ab]
good. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Did that really [C] just happen?
_ _ [Fm] Have I actually [C] understood?
_ _ [Ab] This weird quirk I try [C] to suppress or hide [Fm] is a talent that _ could [Ab] help me meet the wizard.
_ [Db] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Eb] If I [Cm] make _ good, _ _ [Gb] _ so _ I'll [C] make _ _ _ _ _ good.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] When I meet the [C] wizard, _ _ _ [F] once I prove my worth, [C] _ _ _ then I [Am] meet the wizard, _ [Dm] what I've waited [C] for since _ birth.
And with all [F] his wizard [C] wisdom, by my looks he won't be [Em] _ blinded.
Do [Bb] you think the wizard [C] is dumb or [Bb] like Munchkin, so [G] small-minded?
No, [Am] he'll say [Dm] to me, I [G] see who you [C] truly are, [Am] a [Dm] girl on whom I can [G] rely.
_ [C] And that's how we'll [F] begin, the [C] wizard and [Dm] _ [G] I.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Dm] Once [G] I'm with the wizard, _ _
[C] _ [Dm] my whole [G] life [C] will _ change.
Cause once [Em] you're [Am] with the wizard, _
_ [Dm] _ things [C] sure _ change.
No [Dm] father is not [Gm] proud of you, [C] no [Em] sister acts _ ashamed.
_ [F] And all of us [C] have to love you, when by [Bb] the wizard and [G] _ _ _
_ [C] this [Dm] gift or this _ [G] _
[C] common side,
Maybe [Dm] at last I'll [G] know why, when [C] we are hand [F] in hand, the [A] wizard and _ _ I.
_ _ _ [Gbm] One day he'll say to me, Elphaba, [Abm] _ _ _ [D] girl who is so [Dbm]
superior, _ [F] _ shouldn't a girl _ [Em]
good inside, _ [Dm] _ have a matching [Em]
exterior?
_ [Cm] And since [Bb] folks here to [F] an officer [Bb] degree, [Cm] seem [Bb] fixated [F] on your [Bb] verdigris,
[Db] Would it be alright [C] by _ you, [Bbm] if I _ [Eb] degreen, if [Gm] I you?
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] Not important [C] to me, alright why [D] not, [G] I'll reply, _ [C] what a pair [F] we'll be, the [Am] wizard [Dm] and _ [G] _ _
I.
[C] It's what a pair we'll [F] be, the wizard [B] and _ I. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] Unlimited, _ _ _ my [Ebm] future is _ [Gb] _ unlimited, _ _ and I've just [B] had a vision [Bbm] almost like a [Ebm] prophecy, _ [Ab] _ I know.
[Gb] _ It sounds truly [Db] _ crazy, and true, the [Abm] vision's hazy, _
_ [A] but I swear someday there'll [D] be, [Gb] a _ celebration [F]
throughout ours, [B] that's all to do _
_ [Ab] [Bb] with me. _ _ _
