[Verse]
         Dm7                               C13
She was surrounded while she was alone
                         Bbmaj7
When did my house become less of home
           Dm7
She was so tired
         C13
But her eyes remained opened
  Bbmaj7
So much to see, but her words remained unspoken
Dm7                C13
Weep not for me
                             Bbmaj7  Bbmaj7
For my mind wan't holdin' no peace
     Dm7                          C13
Rita carried so much weight
                        Bbmaj7  Bbmaj7
Nobody knew till it was too late

[Chorus]
        Gm9
Rita is gone
            C13                Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
She ain't coming back in your lifetime
      Gm9
She's gone
           C13                  Fmaj7      Bbmaj7
She won't wait for you in your next life

[Post-Chorus]
Gm7   Am7   Bbmaj7 C13 Abmaj7
Gone, gone, gone, she's gone
Gm7   Am7   Bbmaj7 C13 Abmaj7

[Verse]
         Dm7                         C13
Said I'm loneliest when I'm with you
                    Bbmaj7   Bbmaj7
At my best when I'm alone
      Dm7                              C13
But I need someone here beside me baby
                           Bbmaj7    Bbmaj7
Please don't stay gone too long
            Dm7                           C13
'Cause your love continues to help me baby
                            Bbmaj7   Bbmaj7
This heart's been breaking slowly
          Dm7                           C13
But this loneliness can kill me faster
                         Bbmaj7   Bbmaj7
Find it in yourself to stay

[Chorus]
        Gm9
Rita is gone
            C13                Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
She ain't coming back in your lifetime
      Gm9
She's gone
           C13                 Fmaj7      Bbmaj7
She won't wait for you in your next life
        Gm9
She's is gone
            C13                Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
She ain't coming back in your lifetime
      Gm9
She's gone
           C13                 Fmaj7      Bbmaj7
She won't wait for you in your next life

[Post-Chorus]
Gm7   Am7   Bbmaj7 C13 Abmaj7
Gone, gone, gone, she's gone
Gm7   Am7   Bbmaj7 C13 Abmaj7

[Outro]
        Gm9
Rita is gone
C13                     Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
Gone, gone, gone, she's gone
        Gm9
Rita is gone
C13                     Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
Gone, gone, gone, she's gone

Rita is gone
C13                     Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
Gone, gone, gone, she's gone
