Lovely Rita
 (Lennon/McCartney)
 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) 
 
 
 
  
     
  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              G
 When it gets dark I tow your heart away
 
   C              F         Bb                  Eb
 Standing by a parking meter  when I caught a glimpse of Rita
   C                          G
 Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
 C              F              Bb             Eb
 In a cap she looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
  C                              G           C  Am  Dm  G
 Made her look a little like a military man
 
 
   C          Bb    F    C                G
 Lovely Rita meter maid may I enquire discreetly
  Am                   D                  G   F/G  Em/G  Dm  
 When are you free to take some tea with me?
 
 C/G   G
 (Ah)       Rita!

   C                F             Bb                  Eb
 Took her out and tried to win her, had a laugh, and over dinner
  C                               G
 Told her I would really like to see her again
  C                F          Bb                  Eb
 Got the bill and Rita paid it, took her home, I nearly made it,
   C                         G             C  Am  Dm  G 
 Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two
 
       C           Bb    F     C                   G
 Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, where would I be without you?
  Am                 D                G
 Give us a wink and make me think of you!
