        Lovely Rita

A           G           D           A
Lovely Rita meter maid  Lovely Rita meter maid

D           C     G    D                  A
Lovely Rita meter maid nothing can come between us
Bm                  E7              A7
When it gets dark I tow your heart away

D             G              C               F
Standing by a parking meter, when I caught a glimpse of Rita
D                          A7
filling in a ticket in her little white book
D           G                  C            F
In a cap he looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
D                             A7
made her look a little like a military man

D           C     G    D               A
Lovely Rita meter maid may I enquire discreetly
Bm                   E7                 A7
When are you free to take some tea with me?

A           G           D           A

D                G                 C                F
Took her out and tried to win her, had a laugh, and over dinner
D                               A7
told her I would really like to see her again
D                G             C                F
Got the bill and Rita paid it, took her home, I nearly made it
D                          A7
sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

    D            C     G     D                    A
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, where would I be without you?
Bm                 E7               A7
Give us a wink and make me think of you

A           G           D           A
