[Intro]
E G#
E                G#
Oh, Miss Elphaba
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                  G#
 Many years I have waited
      E                    G#
For a gift like yours to appear
          E                     
Why, I predict the Wizard might 
G#
make you his
C#m
Magic grand vizier
E            A
 My dear, my dear
              B/A         E
I'll write at once to the Wizard
A            B/A      E
 Tell him of you in advance
F#m                   G#m      
   With a talent like yours, 
      C#m
dear, there is
  D/F#            E
A definish chance
   D               F#m
If you work as you should
D      E  D/F#   F#    D
You'll be making good
F# D                 G# C
    Welcome to Shiz!
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#                             C
  Did that really just happen?
       G#    C#      F      C
Have I actually understood?
     G#                           
This weird quirk I've tried to 
   C
suppress or hide
     Fm          G#            
Is a talent that could help me 
         C#
meet the Wizard
Bbm   D# D#m      G# F#
   If I make good
             C    F C F
So I'll make good
C                F
 When I meet thе Wizard
C     F                G
 Once I prove my worth
C                    Am
 And then I meet thе Wizard
          Dm              G
What I've waited for since, 

well, since birth
         C              F
And with all his Wizard wisdom
      C                  Em
By my looks, he won't be blinded
       Bb                 C
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
         Bb                  G
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded? No!
 
 
[Chorus]
      Am7         Dm7   G             C
He'll say to me, "I see who you truly are
  Am7     Dm7          G
A girl on whom I can rely"
    C          C/E     F
And that's how we'll begin
           C     Dm7 G   C Dm7 G
The Wizard and I
 
 
[Verse 3]
C     Dm           G
 Once I'm with the Wizard
C   Dm         G
 My whole life will change
C           Dm              Am
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
Dm7                  G
No one thinks you're strange
   C         Dm7       Gm7
No father is not proud of you
   C            Em
No sister acts ashamed
    Bb               C
And all of Oz has to love you
             Bb               G
When, by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
 
 
[Chorus]
         Am7          Dm7   
And this gift or this curse 
G        C
I have inside
Am7       Dm7        G
Maybe, at last, I'll know why
      C            F
As we work hand in hand
               A
The Wizard and I
 
 
[Refrain]
    D                          C#m7
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
  D              C#m7
A girl who is so superior
F                      Em7
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Dm7                  Em7
   Have a matching exterior?
          C          D#      F      Bb
And since folks here to an absurd degree
        C    D#      F    Bb
Seem fixated on your verdigris
         C#            C
Would it be alright by you
   Bbm7       C
If I de-greenify you?"
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am7                
And though, of course, 
Dm7        G            C
that's not important to me
   Am7        Dm7    G
"Alright, why not?", I'll reply
    C                 F
Oh, what a pair we'll be
               Am7 Dm7 G
The Wizard and I
     C                 F
Yes, what a pair we'll be
               B
The Wizard and—
 
 
[Bridge]
F#
Unlimited
           D#m7 B C# F#
My future is un-limi-ted
                    B              
And I've just had a vision, 
       F#           D#m
almost like a prophecy
Bm        F#
I know it sounds truly crazy
                       C#   B
And true, the vision's hazy
    A                          D
But I swear, someday, there'll be
  F#                 F
A celebration throughout Oz
       C#             Bb Gm7 C7
That's all to do with me
 
 
[Verse 4]
         B     C#m            F#
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
     B                  C#m   F#
Feeling the things I've never felt
B                     G#m7
 And though I'd never show it
          C#m7         F#
I'd be so happy I could  melt
 
 
[Chorus]
    G#m        C#m        F#m        D#m
And so it will be for the rest of my life
         G#m          C#m       F#
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
     B              E
Held in such high esteem
            C                 F
When people see me, they will scream
            C             G#
For half of Oz's favorite team
N.C.           C Dm G Am
The Wizard and I
