Don't Cry for Me Argentina. Ukulele cover with chords - Patti LuPone - Sinéad O'Connor

Don't Cry for Me Argentina. A song originally recorded by Julie Covington for the 1976 concept album EVITA, later included in the 1978 musical of the same name. The song was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Tim Rice. The song has been performed by a number of actors portraying Eva Peron in subsequent productions of EVITA, including Elaine Page, Patti LuPone, and Elena Roger.
The Carpenters recorded the song for their 1977 album, Passage, with Karen Carpenter's beautiful velvety alto voice giving it a richer feel. And of course, Madonna recorded it for the film adaptation in 1996. My heart will always belong to Sinéad O'Connor's version, who recorded it for her album, Am I Not Your Girl, in 1992.
* Dedicating this one to my very best pal, and fellow Sinéad enthusiast, Ann McBee! I hope you'll like this first draft, Ann...more to come at a later date!

Key of A (Karen's key!)
VERSE 1: (same chords for all verses)
A D
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Bm E
When I try to explain how I feel
Bm7 A
That I still need your love after all that I've done
A F#m
You won't believe me
B7
All you will see is a girl you once knew
E
Although she's dressed up to the nines
B7 E E7
At sixes and sevens with you
VERSE 2:
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
CHORUS:
A D A
Don't cry for me, Argentina
D A D A
The truth is I never left you
Bm7 F#m
All through my wild days, my mad existence
A
I kept my promise
D
Don't keep your distance
VERSE 3:
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
*(Repeat 1st line of chorus, hum the rest)
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
DMa7
Have I said too much?
E
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
DMa7
But all you have to do is look at me to know
E A
That every word is true
