Lovely Rita

The song is in Bb (well, almost--the
 recording is a little out of tune).
Sounds to me like the guitar is 
capoed at the 3rd fret and playing 
in C.

Lovely Rita meter maid nothing

can come between us
 Am                  D            
When it gets dark I tow your heart
  G
 away

  C              F         Bb    
Standing by a parking meter  when
              Eb
 I caught a glimpse of Rita
  C                          G
Filling in a ticket in her little 
white book.

In a cap she looked much older, 
             Eb
and the bag across her shoulder
 C                           
Made her look a little like a

military man

Lovely Rita meter maid may I

enquire discreetly
 Am                   D           
When are you free to take some tea
       G   F/G  Em/G  Dm
 with me?

C/G   G
(Ah)       Rita!

  C                F             
Took her out and tried to win 
Bb                  Eb
her, had a laugh, and over dinner
 C                               G
Told her I would really like to see 
her again
 C                F          Bb  
Got the bill and Rita paid it, 
                Eb
took her home, I nearly made it,
  C                         G     
Sitting on the sofa with a sister 
        C  Am  Dm  G
or two

      C           Bb    F     C 
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, 
                  G
where would I be without you?
 Am                 D             
Give us a wink and make me think 
   G
of you!
