Don't Cry For Me Argentina chords by The Carpenters

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
G       G           C/G      C/G         D/G
 It won't be easy, you'll think it strange when I try to explain how I feel
    D/G            G          G
that I still need your love after all that I've done.
      Em/G   Em/G          A7
You won't believe me,  all you will see is a girl you once knew,
A7/G                D/F#  A7             D
 although she's dressed up to the nines,  at sixes and sevens with you.

Verse 2:
G         G        C/G       C/G           D/G
 I had to let it happen, I had to change, couldn't stay all my life down at heel,
    D/G            G          G
looking out of the window, staying out of the sun.
      Em/G   Em/G         A7
So, I chose freedom, running around trying everything new,
A7/G             D/F# A7          D
 but nothing impressed me at all,  I never expected it to.

Chorus:
G           C/G G    C/G   G     G
Don't cry for me, Argenti - na, the truth is  I never left you,
        D          Em
all through my wild days, my mad existence,
     Gmaj7/D         C       N.C.
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance.

Verse 3:
G      G          C/G   C/G        D/G
 And as for fortune, and as for fame, I never invited them in
     D/G              G          G
though it seemed to the world they were all I desired.
      Em/G   Em/G           A7
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be,
A7/G             D/F# A7          D
 the answer was here all the time,  I love you and hope you love me.

Bridge:
G           C/G G    C/G   G     G
Don't cry for me, Argenti - na, ooh,
        D          Em
ooh,
     Gmaj7/D         C       N.C.
ooh.

Chorus:
G           C/G G    C/G   G     G
Don't cry for me, Argenti - na, the truth is  I never left you,
        D          Em
all through my wild days, my mad existence,
     Gmaj7/D         C       N.C.
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance.

Outro:
C           C                    Bm7       Bm7
Have I said too much?  There's nothing more I can think of to say to you,
  Cmaj7                  N.C.     Gsus2  G
but all you have to do is look at me to know  that every word is true.
