Artist/Band: John Friday Tabs
Song: Rita's Going Wild Tab
All verses have the same chord pattern, as do all the choruses.
A simplistic song, perhaps, but a pretty fun one!
Intro: D-D-G-D
D A
Well, she packed her bags, and bought herself a ticket to Miami Beach
D
Then a puddle-jumper down to the islands, somewhere out of reach
D7 G Em
Her cell phone's in her bag right next to her PDA
D A D
But the batteries are somewhere at the bottom of Flamingo Bay.
All her life, she's been playing by the rules
But it all fell down and she was left there feeling like a fool.
She's been saying "Someday," buy someday's long since passed.
She's been living way too slow and moving way too fast.
CHORUS:
G
But little Rita's going wild tonight
D
Getting crazy in the pale moonlight
A D D7
All her troubles have been washed away in the waters of that moonlit bay
G D Bm
See her dancing barefoot in the sand, to the rhythms of a steel drum band
G A D
All your life you've never seen such a sight as little Rita going wild tonight
In a day or two, she'll be set on is;and time
Let the sun and the sand and the sea and the stars relax her mind
She knows the folks back home might think that it's a sin
To see her out here, throwing passion to the wind.
(CHORUS)
A smoky night, a starry sky, and a drink of rum
And then a dance that lasts until the night has passed and the morning's come
She may lose it all, but it doesn't matter what gets lost
Because staying the same can come with a much higher cost
(CHORUS)
Yeah, little Rita's going wild tonight
Getting crazy in the pale moonlight
All her troubles have been washed away, skinny-dipping in that moonlit bay
See her dancing naked in the sand, with a wild and crazy guitar man
All your life you've never seen such a sight as little Rita going wild tonight
Yeah, all your life you've never seen such a sight as little Rita going wild tonight
Hey all you ladies, lock your men up tight
Cause little Rita's going wild tonight!
Outro: D-G-A-D (cha-cha-cha)
