Chords for Wicked - The Wizard and I Lyrics

_ Oh, Miss Elphaba, _ _ many [Bb] years I have waited _ [Gb] for a gift like yours [Bb] to appear.
_ [Gb] Why, I predict the wizard could make you his _ [Ebm] magic _ grand vizier.
[Gb] _ My [Ebm] dear, my dear, _ [Db] I'll write at once [Gb] to the wizard.
[B] _
Tell him [Ab] of you [Gb] in advance.
[Abm] _
With a talent [Bbm] like yours, [Ebm] dear, there is [E] a deafening chance.
If you work as [Abm] you should, _
_ [E] _ [Gb] you'll be [E] _ _
making [Ab] good_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Did that [C] really just happen?
_ [Fm] Have I actually [C] understood?
_ _ [Ab] This weird quirk I try to [C] suppress or hide [Fm] is a talent that _ [Ab] could help me meet the wizard.
[Db] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Eb] If I [Cm] make _
[Ab] _ _ [Gb] good, _ so _ I'll make [C] _ _ _ _
good. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I meet the wizard, _ _ _ once I prove my worth,
_ _ _ then I meet [Am] 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 blinded.
_ [Bb] Do you think the wizard [C] is dumb or [Bb] like Munchkin, so [G] small-minded?
No, [A] he'll say [D] to me, I [G] see who you [C] truly are, [Am] a girl on whom I can [G]
rely.
_ [D] And that's [C] how we'll [F]
begin, _ [C] wizard and [Dm] bride.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] Once I'm with [G] the wizard, _ _ _ [Dm] my whole [G] life will change.
[C] Because [Bm] once you're [Am] with the wizard, _ _ [Dm] no one thinks [G] you're [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 live, _ [Bb] when by the wizard, _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] and this gift [Dm] or this _ [G] _
_ [C] _ pain,
maybe [Dm] at last [G] I'll know why, [C] when we are hand [F] in hand, the [A] wizard and _ I. _
_ _ _ [D] One day he'll say to [Db] me, Elphaba, _ _ [D] girl who is so [Dbm]
superior,
_ [F] _ shouldn't a girl who's [Em] so good inside, [Dm] _ have a matching [Bm] _
exterior?
And [Bb] since folks here [F] to an absurd degree, [Cm] seem [Bb] fixated [F] on your verdigris,
[Db] would it be alright [C] by _ you, [F] if I _ degreen, [C] if I you?
Not _ _
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] important [C] to me, [Dm] alright, why not?
[G] I'll _ rely on what [C] a pair [F] we'll be, the [Am] wizard and [Dm] _ _ [G] _ I.
[D] Yes, [C] what a pair we'll [F] be, the wizard [B] and
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ unlimited. _ _
_ My [Ebm] future is _ [Gb] _
unlimited, _ _ and I've just had a vision, [Bb] almost like a [Ebm] prophecy. _ _
[Ab] I _ know [Gb] it sounds [Db] truly crazy, _ and true, the vision's hazy,
_ _ [A] but I [A] swear someday [D] there'll be [Gb] a _ celebration [F] throughout Oz.
[Ab] That's all to do _ _ [Bb] with me _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ feeling fancy.
[Db] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ Never, I [Abm] never show it, I'd [Dbm] be so happy [Gb] I could melt.
_ [Abm] And so [Dbm] it will be [Gb] for the rest of [B] my life, I know [Dbm] I'm nothing [Gb] else till I die.
[B] Held in such [A] high _ [E] esteem, when [C] people see me they [F] will [C] scream,
for half of Oz's favorite [Fm] team. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ The [C] wizard _ and I.
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
