[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][C][D][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
Want to tell you about a friend [D]of mine.
[C][D]
Her name is Rita [Em]Valentine.[C][D]
Every summer night you
[Em]can find her dancin',
[D]Barefoot under a f[Em]ront porch lig[C]ht.
All [A]the boys would [D]bring her
[A]flowers [Asus4]and wine.[D]
[C]I'd be singin' when they drove [G]by

[Verse 2]
If you get a [D]hold of [G]Rita,
Then you better [A]run for your [D]life.
She will [G]lead you on one [A]hell of a [D]ride.
When you [G]need her, she
will [A]tell you goodbye.
[Bm]You know it's hard[D] to hold on to[G]
Rita [Asus4]Valentine.
[D][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well, I saw Jimmy [Bm]Ray.[C][D]
He just knows [G]the same [C]today.[D]
He an' Rita,
[Bm]lost [C]someplace [D]together.
Now she's wearin'
[G]a brand new [C]Mink.
He said: [A]"It feels so sweet,
[D]tha[A]t sugar taste."
[C]If you ask him, he will [G]say:

[Verse 4]
If you get a [D]hold of [G]Rita,
Then you better [A]run for your [D]life.
She will [G]lead you on one [A]hell of a [D]ride.
When you [G]need her, she
will [A]tell you goodbye.
[Bm]You know it's hard[D] to hold on to[G] Rita Vale[Asus4]ntine.
[D][G]

We used to [G]laugh at the games she [D]played.
But when [C]laughin' comes last,
your [G]heart pays the cost, an you wait.
[A][Asus4]

[Verse 6]
If you get a [D]hold of [G]Rita,
You better [Asus4]run for your [A]life.[D]
She will [G]lead you on one [A]hell of a [D]ride.
When you [G]need her, she will
[A]tell you [Bm]goodbye.
You know, it's [D]hard to hold [G]on to Rita
[Asus4]Valentine.
