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

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

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

 
 D                         G 
Salve regina, mater misericordiae, 
                      D 
vita dulcedo et spes nostra, salve, 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                                     G 
  She had her moments, she had some style 
                                A 
the best show in town was the crowd 
                                D 
outside the Casa Rosada crying "Eva Peron" 
               Bm                                       E 
But that's all gone now, as soon as the smoke from the funeral clears 
                         A   E                        A 
we?re all gonna see and how     she did nothing for years. 

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

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