Defying Gravity Ukulele

(ver. 3)
Wicked
[GLINDA]

(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have just stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
      F
(sung) I hope you're happy!
Am
I hope you're happy now
G
I hope you're happy how you
F
Hurt your cause forever
Dm
I hope you think you're clever!

[ELPHABA]
F
I hope you're happy
Am
I hope you're happy, too
G
I hope you're proud how you
F
Would grovel in submission
Dm
To feed your own ambition

[BOTH]
F                         Am
So though I can't imagine how
C                  [MUTE]
I hope you're happy right now

[GLINDA]

(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
       F                Am
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
            C          Am
What you've worked and waited for
             G
You can have all you ever wanted:

[ELPHABA]
(spoken) I know:
           F
(sung) But I don't want it -
       Am
No - I can't want it
C        F G Am 
Anymore
C             F
Something has changed within me
C            F
Something is not the same
C                F              C
I'm through with playing by the rules
   F       Am
Of someone else's game
Am7                 C
Too late for second-guessing
Am7                    C
Too late to go back to sleep
Am7          Am
It's time to trust my instincts
F                 G 
Close my eyes and leap

             Am7
It's time to try
  F       G
Defying gravity
             Am7
I think I'll try
  F       G
Defying gravity
                      C
And you can't pull me down

[GLINDA]
F
Can't I make you understand
G
You're having delusions of grandeur 

[ELPHABA]
C             F
I'm through accepting limits
C            F            G
'Cuz someone says they're so
C             F
Some things I cannot change
     C                Am    G
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Am                 C
Too long I've been afraid of
Am              C
Losing love - I guess I have lost
F               C
Well, if that's love
            Am               G
It comes at much too high a cost

           Am7
I'd sooner buy
   F       G
Defying gravity
            Am7
Kiss me goodbye
      F       G
I'm defying gravity
                      C
And you can't pull me down

(spoken) Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do, together.

   F
Unlimited
C                  F
  Together we're unlimited
C                     G
Together we'll be the greatest team
        F
There's ever been
Am
Glinda -
C
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

[GLINDA]
G
If we work in tandem:

[BOTH]
F                   C
There's no fight we cannot win 
             Am7
Just you and I
   F       G
Defying gravity
             Am7
With you and I
   F       G
Defying gravity

[ELPHABA]
                       C
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

[GLINDA]
              C
I hope you're happy
F
Now that you're choosing this

[ELPHABA]

(Spoken) You too
       F
(Sung) I hope it brings you bliss

[GLINDA]
F
I really hope you get it
        C
And you don't live to regret it

[BOTH]
F                          Am
I hope you're happy in the end
F                    C  G
I hope you're happy, my friend:

[ELPHABA]
Am                F
So if you care to find me
Am          C
Look to the western sky!
Am                 F
As someone told me lately:
Am                               G
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
Am          F
And if I'm flying solo
Am            C
At least I'm flying free
Am              F
To those who'd ground me
       Am                 G
Take a message back from me -

              Am7
Tell them how I
     F       G
Am defying gravity
           C
I'm flying high
  F       G
Defying gravity
              Am7
Tell them how I
     F       G
Am defying gravity
                      C (slow down stroke)
And you can't pull me down
    F         Dm
And nobody in all of Oz
   C                 Am    G
No wizard that there is or was
   F             C     G  Am
Is ever going to bring me down!

[GLINDA]
I hope you're happy!

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

[ELPHABA]
C     G  Am
Bring me down!

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

[ELPHABA]
Am G Dm F C (repeat till end)
Ahhh!

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Down!
