ARTIST: The Beatles
TITLE: Lovely Rita
Lyrics and Chords


Lovely Rita meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark I tow your heart away

/ D - C G / D - A - / Bm - E7 - A7 - Em7 A7 /

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

/ D - G - / C - F - / D - A7 - / :

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
