[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

[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.

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,
