1   O what a circus! O what a show! Argentina has gone to town
G7           C (strummen)
over the death of an actress called Eva Peron.
Am                                  D
We`ve all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night
D7             G             D                  G    - G7
falling over ourselves, to get all of the misery right.

C                          F                        G
2.  O what an exit! That’s how to go, when they’re ringing our curtain down,
G7                      C (strummen)
demand to be buried like Eva Peron.
Am                                    D
It’s quite a sunset, and good for the country in a roundabout way,
D7                      G   - D                    G   - G7
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?
G            F
How will we ever get by without her?

C                                    F
3.  She had her moments - she had some style,
G
the best show in town was the crowd
G7                   C (strummen)
outside the Casa Rosada crying, “Eva Peron“!

Am                                      D
But that’s all gone now, as soon as the smoke from the funeral clears,
D7                  G   - D                      G   - G7
we are going to see - and how!      She did nothing for years.

Don’t cry for me, Argentina, for I am ordinary, unimportant,
G                  Am                  G                 F
and undeserving of your attention, unless we all are - I think we all are.

Ride on my train, o my people,

and when it’s your turn to die you’ll remember,
G                              Am
they fired those cannons, sang lamentations,

not just for Eva - for Argentina, not just for Eva - for Argentina.
