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.
