Wicked Defying Gravity (ver 4) chords

Defying Gravity (ver 4) by Wicked

�Defying Gravity� transcribed by Mike P.

Tune to E flat �Best Played on an Acoustic, normal rhythm and tempo

This is a modified version of the Original Cast Recording (OCR), with the talking parts
removed. The 2nd Verse is a little scaled back from the OCR, mainly to keep a nice
acoustic feel. After the 2nd Chorus, we skip straight to the Bridge, mostly to preserve 
the continuity of the music. The Bridge and the 3rd Chorus make the song.

** The outro is the most complex part of the arrangement, with some single notes in
various places(C,B,A# rundown, and F#),but like the rest of the song, it�s got a small
learning curve, and then you�ll have it in no time.

Once learned, these chords are fairly easy to play, and they flow into each other quite
well. It may seem like a lot at first, but it�s a solid transcription. I hope you enjoy
playing this version as much as I do.  � Mike P.
