[Verse 1]

D          C     G
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.

[Verse 2]

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!)

[Verse 3]

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


[Verse 4]

D          C     G
Lovely Rita meter maid,
D                    A
Where would I be without you?
Bm                E7                  A
Give us a wink and make me think of you.
A          G*
Lovely Rita meter maid
D          A
Lovely Rita meter maid
A          G*
Lovely Rita meter maid
D          A
