Did that real ly just (C)hap pen?
Have I (Fm)ac tual ly
un der (C)stood?
This weird (Ab)quirk I’ve tried
to sup (C)press or hide is a (Fm)tal ent that could
(Ab7)help me (Ab)meet the (Dbmaj9)Wiz ard
if (Eb)I make (Cm7)good!
So I’ll make (C)good...
When I (Dm)meet the (G7sus)Wiz ard,
once I (Dm)prove my (G7sus)worth,
and then I (C)meet the (Am7)Wiz ard,
what I’ve (Dm7)wait ed for since—
since birth!
And with (C)all his (Dm)Wiz ard (G7sus)wis dom,
(G)by my (C)looks, he won’t be (Em)blind ed...
Do you (Bbmaj7)think the Wiz ard is (C)dumb?
Or like (Bbmaj7)Munch kins, so small (Gsus)mind ed?
He’ll (Am7)say to me, (Dm7)“I see who (G)you tru ly (C)are: A (Am7)girl on whom (Dm7)I can re (Gsus)ly!”
(G)And (C)that’s (Dm7)how (C)we’ll be (Fsus)gin, the (F)Wiz ard and (C)I...
Once I’m (Dm7)with the (G7sus)Wiz ard,
my whole (Dm7)life will (G7sus)change.
’Cause once you’re (C)with the (Am7)Wiz ard,
(Dm7)no one thinks you’re (G7sus)strange.
No (C)fa ther is (Dm7)not proud (G7sus)of you,
(G)no (C)sis ter (C)acts a (Em)shamed,
and (Bbmaj7)all of Oz has to (Csus2)love you when (C)by the (Bbmaj7)Wiz ard you’re ac (G7sus)claimed.
And this (Am7)gift or this (Dm7)curse
(G)I have in (C)side,
(Am7)may be at (Dm7)last I’ll know (G7sus)why,
(G)as (C)we (Dm7)work (C)hand in (Fsus)hand, the (F)Wiz ard and (Amaj7)I!
And (Dmaj7)one day, he’ll say to me, (C#m11)“El pha ba,
a (Dmaj7)girl who is so su (C#m11)pe ri or—
(Fmaj7)should n’t a girl who’s so (Em7)good in side
have a match ing ex (Em7)te ri or?
And since (Cm7)folks here, (Bb)to an ab (F)surd de (Bb)gree, seem (Cm7)fix at (Bb)ed on your ver (Bb)di gris, would (Db)it be all right by (C)you
if (Bbm7)I de green i (Csus)fy you?”
(C)And (Am7)though of course (Dm7)that’s not im (G)por tant to (C)me,
(Am7)“All right, why (Dm7)not?” I’ll re (Gsus)ply.
(G)Oh, (C)what (Dm7)a (C)pair we’ll (Fsus)be, the (F)Wiz ard and (Am7)I!
(C)What (Dm7)a (C)pair we’ll (F)be, the Wiz ard and...
Un lim it ed,
my fu ture is
un (Bbmaj7)lim (Csus)it (F)ed...
And I’ve just had a (Bb)vi sion al most (Am7)like a proph e (Dm7)cy—
(Gdim)I know, (F)it sounds tru ly (C9sus)cra zy, and (F)true, the vi sion’s (C9sus)ha zy, (Ab)but I (Abmaj7)swear, some (Ab6)day there’ll (Dbmaj7)be a (F)cel e bra tion (E)through out Oz that’s (Bb)all to do
with (A7sus)me!
And I’ll (Bb)stand there (Bbsus)with the (Bbsus)Wiz ard,
feel ing (Bb)things I’ve (Bbsus)nev er (Bbsus)felt.
And though I’d (Bb)nev er (Gm7)show it,
I’ll be so (Cm7)hap py (Bb)I could (Fsus)melt!
And (Gm7)so it will (Cm7)be for the (F)rest of my (Bb)life, and I’ll (Gm7)want noth ing (Cm7)else till I (Fsus)die!
Held (Bb)in (Cm7)such (Bb)high es (Ebsus)teem,
when peo ple (C)see (Dm7)me, (C)they will (Fsus)scream
for half of (C)Oz (Dm7)’s (C)fav ’rite (Fm(maj7))team:
the Wiz ard and (C)I!
This page shows “The Wizard And I” by Stephen Schwartz in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Db at 90 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
