Oh! What a Circus- 1976 Concept Album chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [F#m] [E]
What a circus, what [A] a show Argentina has gone [B] to town
Over the death of an actress [E] called Eva Perón
We've all gone [C#m] crazy, morning all day [A#] and morning all night
Falling over ourselves to [B] get off [F#] of the [B] misery ride
[E] Oh what an exit, that's [A] how to go
When the ring in your curtain [B] down
Demand to be buried [E] like Eva Perón
It's [C#m] quite a sunset and good for the country
In a roundabout way, you've made the front [B] page in all
[F#] The world's papers [B] today, [E] but who is this Santa Vida?
[D] Why all this [E] howling, hysterical sorrow?
What [B] kind of goddess has [C#m] lived among us?
How [E] will we ever get [A] by without her?
[D] [C#m] [E] She had her moments, she had [A] some style
The best show in town [B] was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada [E] crying Eva Perón
But that's [C#m] all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
[A#] We'll all go to sea [B] and howl
[F#] She did nothing [F#m] for years
[E]
[A]
[B] You
[E]
[Bm] [C#m]
[F#] [C#m]
[B]
[F#m] [B]
[E] let down your people, Evita
[B] You were [E] supposed to have been immortal
That's [B] all they wanted, not [C#m] much to ask for
But [G#m] in the end you could [A] not deliver
Sing you fool, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got [G] long
The [D] queen is [G] dead, the king [D] is [G] through
She's not coming [D] back to you
[A] Show business kept us all alive
Since Gerontino told us in 1945
When [D] the star had gone, the clouds were for [G] thin
That's a pretty bad [D] state for a state to be in
[G] Instead of government we had a stage
[C] Instead of [G] ideas, a criminal is [A#] raged
[C] Instead of help, [F] we were [C] given a [F] crown
You didn't say much, [A#] but you said [C] it loud
Sing you fool, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got [A#] long
[F] The queen is dead, the king is [A#] through
She's not coming [D#] back [Fm] to you
[C#]
[F#] Sing you fool, but
[G#]
[C#]
[Fm]
[C#] [A#m]
you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers [C#m] [D#] because you haven't
[G#] got long
The queen is
[C#]
[F#]
dead, the king [C#] is through
She's [G#]
[C#]
not coming [A#m]
[C#]
[D#]
back [C#] [D#]
[C#] [G#] to you
[D#]
[G#]
[C#]
Don't cry for me, Argentina
For I am only unimportant
And [G#]
undeserving of such [A#m]
attention
[C#] Unless we all are
I think [A#m] we all [F#] are
[C#]
Ride on my train, on my pea
And when it's your turn, you'll remember
They fired [G#] those cannons, sang [A#m]
lamentations
Not just [C#] for Eva, for [F#] Argentina
Not just [C#] for [Fm] Eva, for [F#] everybody
So share [C#] my glory, so share [F#] my conscience
So share [C#] my glory, so share [F#] my conscience
It's our funeral too
[Fm] [F#]
