G
Oh, what a circus, oh, what a show
A
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress
D
called Ava Peron.
Bm
We've all gone crazy,
Mourning all day and
E
mourning all night,
A
Falling over ourselves to get all
E
A
D
of the misery right.
G
What an exit, that's how to go,
When they're ringing your curtain down.

Demand to be
A
D
buried like Ava Peron
Bm
It's quite a sunset
G
And good for the country in
E
a roundabout way
D
A
We've made the front page of all
E
A
The world's papers today
D
But who is this Santa Evita?
G
D
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
A
What kind of goddess has
Bm
lived among us?
D
G
How will we ever get by without her?
D
G
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
A
D
A
Outside the Casa Rosada,
D
crying Eva Perón
Bm
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke
E
from the funeral clears

We're all gonna see
How?

You let down your people, Evita
You were supposed to have
been immortal
A
That's all they wanted,
Bm
not much to ask for
D
G
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because
F

you haven't got long

The queen is dead, your king is through

She's not coming back to you

The show business kept us all alive
Since 17 October 1945

the glamour's won't send
C#
That's a pretty bad state
Ab
for a state to be in

Instead of government,
we had our stage

Instead of ideas,
a pyramid on its range
B

Instead of help, we were given a crowd

Don't cry for me,
E

for I am ordinary, unimportant,

and undeserving of

such attention.
B
E
Unless we all are, I think we all are.
B
Ride on my train, oh my people,
And when it's your turn to die,
you'll remember
F#
They fired those cannons,
E

sang lamentations

Not just for Eva, for Argentina

It's our funeral too.
