         Oh, Miss Elphaba

[Verse 1]
E                 G#/E
 Many years I have    waited
      E                    G#/E
For a gift like yours to appear
Why,
     E                     G#/E
I predict the Wizard might make you his
C#m
Magic grand vizier
G#dim/D   G#7/E    E/A
       My dear, my dear
                  B/A       E/G#
I'll write at once   to the Wizard
A               B/A     E/G#
 Tell him of you   in advance
F#m                   G#m
   With a talent like yours, dear,
      C#m
there is
  D/F#
A definish chance
E   D               F#m
 If you work as you should
D      E  D/F#   F#  A#
You'll be making good

Welcome to Shiz

[Verse 2]
G#
  Did that really just happen?
C       Fm                  C
 Have I actually understood?
           G#                     C
This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
        Fm            G#7                    C#add9
Is a talent that could   help me meet the Wizard
A#m7   Cm7
    If I  make good

[Interlude 1]
F#sus2             C   Dm7 G7sus4 G C Dm7 G7sus4 G
      So I'll make good

[Verse 3]
C      Dm7         G7sus4 G
 When I   meet the Wizard
C    Dm7          G7sus4     G
 Once   I prove my      worth
C           Em/B     Am7
 And then I meet the Wizard
          Dm7
What I've waited for since,
G7sus4
      for since birth
G        C   Dm7        G7sus4
And with all his Wizard wisdom
G     C                       Em
By my looks, he won't be blinded
       A#                  C
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
         A#                 Gsus4      G
Or, like Munchkins, so smallminded? No!
      Am7
He'll say to me,
Dm7           G/B       C
   "I see who you truly are
  Am7          Dm7      G7sus4
A girl on whom I  can rely"   
    C      Dm7 C/E        F
And that's how we'll begin

C Dm7 G7sus4 G

[Verse 4]
C     Dm7          G7sus4 G
 Once I'm with the Wizard
C   Dm7        G7sus4      G
 My whole life will  change
C                  Em/B         Am7
 'Cause once you're    with the Wizard
Dm7                  G7sus4
No one thinks you're strange
G  C         Dm7       Gm7
No father is not proud of you
   C          Em/B Am7
No sister acts    ashamed
    A#                   C
And all of Oz has to love you
            A#                      Gsus4 G
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
         Am7     Dm7         G/B       C
And this gift or this curse I   have inside
Am7      Dm7             G7sus4
Maybe at last, I'll know why   
   C  Dm7 C/E         F
As we are hand in hand
              A
The Wizard and I

[Verse 5]
    Dmaj7                         C#m7
And one  day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
  Dmaj7         C#m7
A girl who is so    superior
F                        Em
Shouldn't a girl who's so  good inside
Dm                  Em
  Have a matching exterior?
          C          D#          F  A#
And since folks here to an absurd degree
    C   D#          F     A#
Seem fixated on your verdigris
C#                 C
Would it be alright by you
   A#m        Csus4     C
If I  degreenify   you?"
    Am7
And though, of course,
Dm7           G            C/E
   that's not important to me
   Am7             Dm7     G7sus4
"Alright, why not?"   I'll reply
    C    Dm7 C/E          F
Oh, what a   pair we'll be
               Am7 Dm7 G7sus4
The Wizard and I  
     C    Dm7 C/E          F
Yes, what a   pair we'll be
The Wizard and

[Interlude 2]
Bmaj7
     Unlimited
            D#m  B  C# F#
My future is   unlimited
                      B
And I've just had a vision,
           A#m        D#m G#dim/D
almost like   a prophecy I
         C#sus4
know, it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
A                            Dmaj7
But I swear someday there'll be   
  F#                 F
A celebration throughout Oz

[Bridge]
       C#7sus4           A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# Gm7 C
That's all    to do with me    

[Verse 6]
         B          C#m7         F#7sus4 F#
And I'll stand there    with the Wizard
       B       C#m7       F#7sus4 F#
Feeling things I've never felt   
B              D#m/A#      G#m7
 And though I'd      never show it
          C#m7   E      F#7sus4    F#
I'd be so happy, I could       melt
    G#m7        C#m7    F#             B
And so  it will be  for the rest of my life
         G#m7         C#m7       F#
And I'll want nothing else 'til I  die
     B  C#m7 B/D#   E
Held in such high esteem
            C   Dm7 C/E             F
When people see me, they will scream
            C    Dm7 C/E   G#  G
For half of Oz's fa_vorite team
               C Dm7 G
