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?

How will we ever get by without her?

 D             G
Salve regina, mater misericordiae,

vita dulcedo et spes nostra, salve, salve, regina!

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.

Chorus:
 D             G
Salve regina, mater misericordiae,

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