Lovely Rita by Beatles
Lovely Rita
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Nothing can come between us,
When it gets dark I tow your heart away.
Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.
Lovely Rita meter maid,
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free,
To take some tea with me.
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told her I would really like to see her again,
Got the bill and Rita paid it,
Took her home I nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two.
Oh, lovely Rita meter maid,
Where would I be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.
The intro was recorded by John and George with their two jumbos.
I've tabbed it for a single guitar.
Also a couple of things in the piano solo would be impossible to
play with a guitar, but I've tabbed it anyway because I thought
it was worth a try. I've put some of the notes in a lower tone so
that it can be played with any guitar.
I hope you like it.

Lovely Rita meter maid,
D A
Nothing can come between us.
Bm E7 A7
When it gets dark I tow your heart away.
D G*
Standing by a parking meter,
C F
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
D A7
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
D G*
In a cap she looked much older,
C F
And the bag across her shoulder
D A7 D Bm E A
Made her look a little like a military man.
D C G
Lovely Rita meter maid,
D A
May I inquire discreetly,
Bm E7 A* G* D A
When are you free to take some tea with me?
(Rita!)
Solo: D C G D A Bm E7 A7
D G*
Took her out and tried to win her.
C F
Had a laugh and over dinner,
D A7
Told her I would really like to see her again.
D G*
Got the bill and Rita paid it.
C F
Took her home I nearly made it,
D A7 D Bm E A
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two. Oh
D C G
Lovely Rita meter maid,

Where would I be without you?

Give us a wink and make me think of you.
