Oh What a Circus

E                             A/E
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
                      B7
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called 
E
Eva Peron
               C#m
We've all gone crazy
                      F#7
Mourning all day and mourning all 
night
                              B   
Falling over ourselves to get all 
C#m    F#7    B7
of the misery right

E                              A/E
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain 
 B7
down
                         E
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
             C#m
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a 
F#7
roundabout way
                             B   
We've made the front page of all 
C#m         F#7      B7
the world's papers today

      E
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical 
sorrow?
             B                  
What kind of goddess has lived among
C#m
 us?
            G#m             A7+/9
How will we ever get by without her?

E                               
She had her moments, she had some 
   A/E
style
                                B7
The best show in town was the crowd
                                 E
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva
 Peron"
               C#m
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the 
F#7
funeral clears

                        B7   C#m  
We're all gonna see and how, she 
   F#7         B7
did nothing for years

E                         A/E
Salve regina mater misericordiae
                     B7
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
               E
Salve salve regina
         C#m                F#7
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
                   B7     C#m
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
  F#7       B7
O clemens o pia

     E
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been 
immortal
                 B                 
That's all they wanted, not much to
 C#m
 ask for
           G#m                 A7+/9
But in the end you could not deliver

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

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

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

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

Don't cry for me Argentina

           F#          C#
For I am ordinary, unimportant
        G#                 Bbm
And undeserving of such attention
          Fm                      
Unless we all are, I think we all

are

So share my glory, so share my 
F#7+
coffin

So share my glory, so share my 
F#7+
coffin
                 F#7+
It's our funeral too
