		E             A             D                G
		Standing by a parking meter  when I caught a glimpse of Rita
		E                          B
		filling in a ticket in her little white book

		In a cap whe looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder
		made her look a little like a military man

		E           D     A    E                D
		Lovely Rita meter maid may I enquire discreetly
		C#m                  F#7               |B   A/B |G#m/B   F#m/B|
		When are you free to take some tea with me?
		E6/B        B7          |E    D A|E   B7  |E   F#7 |B7|
		Ah                Rita

		CHORUS

		Took her out and tried to win her, had a laugh, and over dinner
		told her I would really like to see her again
		Got the bill and Rita paid it, took her home, I nearly made it,
		sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

		Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, where would I be without you?
		Give us a wink and make me think of you
