Don’t cry for me Argentina

1. [A] It won’t be easy, you’ll think it [D] strange
when I try to explain how I [E] feel
that I [E7] still need your love after [A] all that I’ve done.
You [C#m] won’t [F#m] believe me
All you will [F#m7] see is a [B] girl you once knew
al-[A] though she’s dressed up to the [E] nines
at [B] sixes and sevens with [E] you

2. I [A] had to let it happen, I had [D] to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at [E] heel
Looking out of the window, staying [A] out of the sun
So [C#m] I chose [F#m] freedom
Running a-[F#m7] round trying [B] everything new
But [A] nothing impressed me at [E] all.
I [B] never expected it [E] to.

Chorus: [A] Don’t cry for me, Argentina the truth is, I never left you
All through my [E] wild days, my mad exis-[F#m] tence
I kept my [C#m] promise. Don’t keep your [D] distance

[A] And as for fortune, and as [D] for fame
I never invited them [E] in
though it seemed to the world they were [A] all I desired
They [C#m] are il-[F#m] lusions
They’re [A] not the solutions they [D] promised to be
The [A] answer was here all the [E] time
I [B] love you, and hope you love [E] me
Don’t [A] cry for me, Argentina . . . .

Chorus: [A] Don’t cry for me, Argentina the truth is, I never left you
All through my [E] wild days, my mad exis-[F#m] tence
I kept my [C#m] promise. Don’t keep your [D] distance

[F#m] Have I said too much? There’s nothing more I can think of to [C#m] say to you
[F#m] But all you have to do is look at me to know that every [E] word is [A] true
