Ritas Only Fault
By: Chris Knight
D
She handled herself well
G
For being handled by two guards
Bm
She still looked like a prom queen
G D
In the back of that sheriff's car
D
The crowd lined up from the court house
G
To the jailhouse down the street
Bm
How could they talk so bad
G D
About a girl who was so sweet
Chorus:
A
Rita's heart turned to ice
G D
on a hot night in July
A
she did what she had to do
G D
they don't believe the reasons why
G D
How he used her for a doormat
G D
when he was sober enough to walk
Bm
As far as I'm concerned
G D
He was Rita's only fault
D
You know I've always loved her
G
And one time she loved me too
Bm
That first love never let me go
G D
The way that others do
D
She left me for the quarterback
G
I knew him back in school
Bm
He had a shiny car and a fast smile
G D
But I always knew he was a fool
D
Now I go to see her Sundays
G
I see the tears in her eyes
Bm
And I see the same sweet smile
G D
That hell just can't disguise
D
If I'd have only known
G
I'd have done him in myself
Bm
I'd gladly take her place
G D
In that cold grey cell
Chorus:
A
Rita's heart turned to ice
