Oh What A Circus chords by Evita

Chords with lyrics

F minorFm

E MajorE               A/EA/E
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
           B7B7
Argentina has gone to town
                  E MajorE
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
        C# minorC#m
We've all gone crazy
           F#7F#7
Mourning all day and mourning all night
               BB  C# minorC#m  F#7F#7  B7B7
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right

E MajorE               A/EA/E
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
                  B7B7
When they're ringing your curtain down
             E MajorE
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
       C# minorC#m
It's quite a sunset
              F#7F#7
And good for the country in a roundabout way
               BB  C# minorC#m     F#7F#7   B7B7
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today

   E MajorE
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
       BB         C# minorC#m
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
      G# minorG#m       A7A7+/9
How will we ever get by without her?

E MajorE                 A/EA/E
She had her moments, she had some style
                B7B7
The best show in town was the crowd
                 E MajorE
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
        C# minorC#m
But that's all gone now
               F#7F#7
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
            B7B7  C# minorC#m   F#7F#7     B7B7
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

E MajorE             A/EA/E
Salve regina mater misericordiae
           B7B7
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
        E MajorE
Salve salve regina
     C# minorC#m        F#7F#7
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
          B7B7   C# minorC#m
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
 F#7F#7    B7B7
O clemens o pia

   E MajorE
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
         BB         C# minorC#m
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
      G# minorG#m         A7A7+/9
But in the end you could not deliver

A augmentedA            D MajorD
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
    G+G    D MajorD     FF     C majorC
Your queen is dead, your king is through
  Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
And she's not coming back to you

A augmentedA           D MajorD
Show business kept us all alive
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Since seventeen October 1945
     G+G    D MajorD      FF      C majorC
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
Eb MajorEb                     Bb majorBb
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in

  G#G#   Eb MajorEb      G#G#   Eb MajorEb
Instead of government we had a stage
  G#G#    Eb MajorEb   G#G#      Eb MajorEb
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
  F#F#    C#C#      F#F#   C#C#
Instead of help we were given a crowd
  F#F#                C#C#
She didn't say much, but she said it loud

A augmentedA            D MajorD
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
    G+G    D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
Your queen is dead, your king is through
  G+G             D MajorD
And she's not coming back to you

C#C#            F#F#
Salve regina mater misericordiae
           G#7G#7
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
       C#C#
Salve salve regina Peron
     A#mA#m        Eb7Eb7
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
          C#C#    Eb7Eb7
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
      G#7G#7
O clemens o pia

C#C#
Don't cry for me Argentina

      F#F#     C#C#
For I am ordinary, unimportant
    G#G#         BbmBbm
And undeserving of such attention
     F minorFm           F#F#
Unless we all are, I think we all are
       C#7C#7+       F#7F#7+
So share my glory, so share my coffin
       C#7C#7+       F#7F#7+
So share my glory, so share my coffin
         F#7F#7+
