This is, frankly, a pretty helpful tutorial for anyone thinking about writing a musical. It's also an excellent example of how to sing if you're in a musical. These are just some of the services I provide. You're welcome.

The chords...

I was sort of semi-improvising it, so sorry if they're a bit haphazard. The verse is pretty simple though I think.

C, G, F, C
Am, F, Gsus, G
C, G, F G, Am (with 9th if you like - add a B natural)
F, C/E (C with E in the bass), Dm G, C

The middle section modulates to the subdominant (F major). So the chords are:

Bflat/C, then C/F to F
Bflat/C, C, D major (now we've modulated again)
Gmin9 (add an A natural), then A/D to D
Gmin9, Asus (add as many extras as you want - D natural, G natural, B natural etc, but most importantly leave the Csharp out of it until the last minute)

Then we're ready for the big final section:

D, D/Csharp, Bmin, Bmin/A,
G, D/Fsharp, Emin, A
Bmin9, Bmin/A, Emaj/Gsharp, Emaj
Asus, Asus, A, G/A A

D, D/Csharp, Bmin, Bmin/A,
G, D/Fsharp, Fsharp diminished (built of Fsharp, A, C, and Dsharp)
Emin, A A/G, D/Fsharp Fsharp min7, Bmaj,
Emin, Gmin/E, D A/Csharp, Bsus Bmaj
Emin, Asus A7,

D, A/Csharp, Bmin, Gmin6(add Enatural)/Bflat then A, D

I hope that makes, like, any sense at all. :)
