G 
Rita where have you gone

                G#
I've been missing you for far too long

              G
I feel so blue haven't you heard

    G#                                           G
I am the lonesome rider hear the lonesome rider's call home

I'm back from the war I've been missing you

where have you gone my baby blue

Bb                Eb                                    D
I'm here all alone I've been bleeding too

 

Bridge

Bb           Am                         Eb                    F           Bb
The dark reaper led the cowboy ahead into his final sunset

Bb                    Am                                Eb
the dawn soon to come a cold wind will blow

                  F
he's on his way home

      Eb                   F
my love never will we be apart

Bb                        Gm                     Eb          
and we'll feel the sadness peeling from our fate

                            F                          Bb                  Eb
the day has now come where we belong together again

                   F 
farewell so long
