(*NOTE ON THE FOLLOWING CHORUS:
These two parts- Elphaba's & Glinda's- are sung at the same time, in a round-like
Here's how it looks, without the chords (Glinda is lines 1 & 3, Elphaba is lines 2 & 4):
Like a comet pulled from or- -bit As it pas- ses a sun
Like a (x02210@1) ship blown from its moor-ing By awind (x02210@1)off the
Like a steam that meets a boul- -der Halfway through the wood
Sea Like aseed (x02210@1) dropped by abird (x02210@1) in the wood
So basically, Elphaba starts on the word "pulled" in Glinda's verse. Listen to the
for help.*)
