[Verse 1]
C# G#7
She left a lipstick letter on the mirror shattered on the bathroom floor.
C#
All I could put back together was never see me no more.
C#7 F# D#m
Took all her clothes but one red dress, the one she knows I like the best.
C# G#7 C# N.C.
All I could do was clean up the mess, and wonder where she had gone.
[Verse 2]
C# G#7
I had a sky-blue rag top Mustang, a 1964.
C#
She drove it off into the night til it just wouldn't go no more.
C#7 F# D#m
She caught a ride on into town, bought some gas and laid the top down.
C# G#7 C# N.C.
Then she burned that pony to the ground on the desert in New Mexico.
[Chorus]
G#7 C#
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.
G#7 C#
She gave me every chance a man could want.
F#
I've never known a love so strong,
C# F#
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong.
G#7 C# C#
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.

I put a call into her mamasita, back in El Paso.
C#
She said she got the story from Rita on her way to Mexico.
C#7 F# D#m
Her mama knew I was taking it hard, said she was sorry about my car.
C# G#7
She said "You're lucky all she broke was your heart
C# N.C.
You better just let her go."
[Chorus]

She never gave me a chance to explain.

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.
