Key: F

Introduction:

E                                                                            A/E  
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
                                                          B7  
Argentina has gone to town
                                                                                                E  
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
                                        C#m  
We've all gone crazy
                                                          F#7  
Mourning all day and mourning all night
                                                                                B      C#m         F#7         B7  
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
E                                                                              A/E  
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
                                                                                             B7  
When they're ringing your curtain down
                                                                  E  
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
                                  C#m  
It's quite a sunset
                                                                          F#7  
And good for the country in a roundabout way
                                                                             B      C#m                      F#7              B7  
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
                E  
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
                                  B                                              C#m  
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
                                G#m                                 A7+/9  
How will we ever get by without her?
E                                                                                         A/E  
She had her moments, she had some style
                                                                                     B7  
The best show in town was the crowd
                                                                                        E  
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
                                        C#m  
But that's all gone now
                                                                                F#7  
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
                                                                B7      C#m            F#7                      B7  
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years
E                                                                 A/E  
Salve regina mater misericordiae
                                                        B7  
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
                                        E  
Salve salve regina
                        C#m                                         F#7  
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                                                  B7            C#m  
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
     F#7                 B7  
O clemens o pia
             E  
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
                                             B                                              C#m  
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
                             G#m                                            A7+/9  
But in the end you could not deliver
A                                                              D  
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
        A                                                                         D  
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
                  G                    D                      F                      C  
Your queen is dead, your king is through
          Eb                                                            Bb  
And she's not coming back to you
A                                                      D  
Show business kept us all alive
A                                              D  
Since seventeen October 1945
                          G                 D                              F                              C  
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
Eb                                                                                                              Bb  
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
        G#              Eb                              G#            Eb  
Instead of government we had a stage
        G#                 Eb              G#                              Eb  
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
        F#                 C#                            F#              C#  
Instead of help we were given a crowd
          F#                                                                                 C#  
She didn't say much, but she said it loud
A                                                              D  
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
        A                                                                         D  
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
                  G                    D                      G                      D  
Your queen is dead, your king is through
          G                                                                 D  
And she's not coming back to you
C#                                                            F#  
Salve regina mater misericordiae
                                                        G#7  
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
                                     C#  
Salve salve regina Peron
                        A#m                                         Eb7  
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                                                  C#                    Eb7  
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
                                G#7  
O clemens o pia
C#  
Don't cry for me Argentina
                             F#                         C#  
For I am ordinary, unimportant
                     G#                                            Bbm  
And undeserving of such attention
                          Fm                                                         F#  
Unless we all are, I think we all are
                                  C#7+                                    F#7+  
So share my glory, so share my coffin
                                  C#7+                                    F#7+  
So share my glory, so share my coffin
                                             F#7+  
It's our funeral too
