Oh What A Circus

         Bm                 E
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                    A          E
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
             A
o clemens, o pia.

[Verse 1]
D                               G
  Oh, what a circus, oh what a show,
                       A
Argentina has gone to town,
over the death of an actress called 
 D
Eva Peron.
               Bm                  
We’ve all gone crazy, mourning all 
           E
day and mourning all night
                               A   
falling over ourselves to get all  
 E                A
   of the misery right.

[Verse 2]
D                                 
  Oh, what an exit, that’s how to 
G
go!
When they’re ringing your curtain 
 A
down
                         D
demand to be buried like Eva Peron.
             Bm                  
It’s quite a sunset, and good for 
                   E
the country in a roundabout way
                              A    
we’ve made the front pages of all  
E                       A
   the world’s papers today.

      D
But who is this Santa Evita?

              G          D    
Why all this howling hysterical 
   G  D
sorrow?
              A                 Bm
What kind of goddess has lived among
 us?
            D               G
How will we ever get by without her?

[Chorus]
 D                         G
Salve regina, mater misericordiae,
                      A            
vita dulcedo et spes nostra, salve,
          D
 salve, regina!
         Bm                 E
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                    A          E
ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
             A
o clemens, o pia.

[Verse 3]
D                                 
  She had her moments, she had 
    G
some style
                                A
the best show in town was the crowd
                                D
outside the Casa Rosada crying "Eva 
Peron"
               Bm                  
But that's all gone now, as soon as
                     E
 the smoke from the funeral clears
                         A   E    
we’re all gonna see and how     
                    A
she did nothing for years.

     D
You let down your people, Evita,
             G             D 
you were supposed to have been 
     G  D
immortal
                 A                 
that's all they wanted, not much to
 Bm
 ask for
           D                
but in the end you could not 
    G
deliver.

[Chorus]
 D                         G
Salve regina, mater misericordiae,
                      A            
vita dulcedo et spes nostra, salve,
          D
 salve, regina!
         Bm                 E
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                    A          E
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
             A
o clemens, o pia.
