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

[Verse 3]
G# D#7
I put a call into her mamasita, back in El Paso.
G#
She said she got the story from Rita on her way to Mexico.
G#7 C# A#m
Her mama knew I was taking it hard, said she was sorry about my car.
G# D#7
She said "You're lucky all she broke was your heart
G# N.C.
You better just let her go."
[Chorus]
D#7 G#
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.
[Spoken]
G#
She never gave me a chance to explain.
C# A#m
Hell I guess it doesn't much matter now anyway.
[Sung]

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.
