"For Good" is from the 2003 hit musical Wicked and was written by the composer Stephen Schwartz. It is a farewell song performed as a duet by the main characters Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (the Good Witch of the South) as a farewell.
Quite a low tune, which sounds good played an octave up too. I hope you enjoy playing :)
D E G .A
I've heard it said
.A .A-.G .G E-E .G E
That people come into our lives
E G G-.G
For a reason
.A - .G .G - C C D D
Bringing something we must learn
D E G .A .A .A
And we are led to those
.G .G E E .G E
Who help us most to grow
F E D C
If we let them
.A C E D D C-D
And we help them in return
C E G G A
Well, I don't know if
C E - E D C
I believe that's true
C C C D D C D D#-D#
But I know I'm who I am today
.A - C D# F F
Because I knew you
D F G-G G G G-C
Like a comet pulled from orbit
C D E-D C .G
As it passes the sun
C E G G G G G-C
Like a stream that meets a boulder
C - D D E D-C
Halfway through the wood
E G A G E C F
Who can say if I've been changed
F E D-C
For the better
C .B - C G G C
But because I knew you
C G C E D C
I have been changed for good
D E G .A
It well may be
.A .A .G .G-E E .G-E
That we will never meet again
E G G-.A
In this lifetime
.A .A .G .G C - C D D
So, let me say before we part:
D E G .A
So much of me
.A .A .G .G E E .G E
Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me
.A C E - D D C D
Like a handprint on my heart
C E G-G-A C
And now whatever way

Our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine
.Bb C-D# F F
By being my friend
D F G G G G G - C
Like a ship blown from its mooring
C D E D C .G
By a wind off the sea
C E G G G G E-D C
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
C D D-E D-C
In a distant wood
E G A G E-D C F
Who can say if I've been changed
F E D-C
For the better
C .B - C G G C
But because I knew you...
.B - C G G C
Because I knew you...
C G C E D C
I have been changed for good
