Lovely Rita, meter maid!  Lovely Rita, meter maid!

[Verse 1]
      D            C     G     D                     A7
(Ah!) Lovely Rita, meter maid, nothing can come be - tween us,
Bm                   E        E7        A7
When it gets dark, I tow your heart a - way

[Verse 2]
D                G              C                  F
   Standing by a parking meter, ...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, a - cross her shoulder,
D                             A7               D  Bm   E   A7
Made her look a little like a military man  |  /   /   /   /  |

[Verse 4]
D                    G                 C
   Took her out, and tried to win her,     had a laugh,
    F              D                               A7
And over dinner ...told her I would really like to see her again,
D                    G              C
   Got the bill, and Rita paid it,     took her home,
  F               D                        A7
I nearly made it, sitting on a sofa with a sister or two,
D   Bm   E   A7
         Oh, oh-----!

[Verse 5]
D            C     G     D                       A7
Lovely Rita, meter maid, where would I be with - out you?
Bm                  E       E7       A              G
Give us a wink, and make me think of you, ...lovely meter maid,
                                    (Lovely Ri------ta, meter maid!)

 D               A           A7                G
 Rita meter maid,                   oh, lovely Rita,   ...meter maid,
