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
