When Rita Leaves

[Intro] E  B7  E

[Parte 1]
           E                     
She left a lipstick letter on the 
                         B7
mirror shattered on the bathroom 
floor
All I could put back together was 
          E
never see me no more
Took all her clothes but one red 
E7                 A             
dress, the one she knows I like 
   F#m
the best
            E                   B7  
                       E          
N.C
All I could do was clean up the 
mess, and wonder where she had gone

        E                          
I had a sky-blue rag top Mustang, a
   B7
 1964
She drove it off into the night til 
                 E
it just wouldn't go no more
                          E7   
She caught a ride on into town, 
             A                  
bought some gas and laid the top 
  F#m
down
         E                       B7 
                         E       N.C
Then she burned that pony to the 
ground on the desert in New Mexico

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
    B7                             
She gave me every chance a man 
  E
could want
           A
I've never known a love so strong
      E
Or so crazy when she's been done 
wrong

        E                          
I put a call into her mamasita, 
     B7
back in El Paso
She said she got the story from Rita
               E
 on her way to Mexico
                              E7   
Her mama knew I was taking it hard,
              A              F#m
 said she was sorry about my car
                 E                 
She said "You're lucky all she 
           B7
broke was your heart
                    E
You better just let her go."

She never gave me a chance to 
explain

Hell I guess it doesn't much matter
     F#m
 now anyway
