Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse:
   C                           F/C
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
                        G/C
Argentina has gone to town
When they're ringing your curtain down
                                       C
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
                  Am
We've all gone crazy
It's quite a sunset
                        D
Mourning all day and mourning all night
And good for the country in a roundabout way
              D/C                G/B         D           G
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right. (REPEAT)
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
       C
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
             G                 Am
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
         C                  F
How will we ever get by without her?
C                                 F
She had her moments, she had some style
                               G
The best show in town was the crowd
                                C
Outside the casa rosada crying, "Eva Peron”
                Am
But that's all gone now
                              D
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
D/C                     Bm    D                            G
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

Chorus:
C                        F
Salve regina mater misericordiae
                                  G
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
                    C
Salve salve regina
           Am               D
Ad te clamamus exules filii eva
          C                   Am
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
D               G
O clemens o pia

Verse 2:
C
You let down your people Evita

You were supposed to have been immortal
                G                   Am
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
           C                   F     F7
But in the end you could not deliver

EVA/EVITA:
C
Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
        G                  Am
And undeserving of such attention
          C                   F
Unless we all are, I think we all are
C                  F
So share my glory, so share my coffin
C                  F
So share my glory, so share my coffin
