Difficulty: Intermediate

RITA:
C/G
I was brought up in tafetta dresses
    G7sus4
And taught to be pretty and precious
            G5
Spending my playtimes with plastic princesses
            E7/G#
Who all had bodies just utterly ludicrous
          Am              G#
Miniscual waists and huge boobs
         Am/G     Am/F#      F            Dm9
And it's all nippless and no pubes and no creases
       D#                   C/E
I mean Jesus it's pretty confusing
  G           F
Especially at 6.

                  C/G
In that fairytale world all the girls end up happy ever after.
F/G
Wooing their knights in shining armour.
         G
But some nights down the track
You can bet they'll be trapped
E
Spending nights 'n shining armour.

            Am                  Am/G             Am/F#
While their knights spend their nights at the bar
        Am/F           Am
Or at a ball with some harlot
        Am/G             Am/F#
I'm not bitter it's just better
             F6                Am       G#
That I don't fall for all that romantic bullshit
C/G          D7/F#
Now that I'm older.
         Dm9                                    C/E
Though I don't mind the thought of being tossed over a shoulder
            F                        D7/F#             G
And trotted off to a mansion by some ruggedly handsome man in a fireman helmet
    E/G#                     Am    Am/G
And have him just use me for sex.
     Dm7          F/G       C
As I say - it's a little complex.

C        E7
One day, some day
   Am
my prince may come
        D7
But it doesn't seem likely
    Dm7                    C
But even if he came and he liked me
     D7             G#5
It's likely he'd be not quite my type.

C         E7
Some day, they say
           Am               D7
He'll come ridin' up on the back of a horse
Dm7
But of course
     C
I'm allergic to horses
D7
How will I tell him
      G7#5
He'll just have to sell him.

          D/A
I went to school with a girl
I remember her well
        G/A
She was pretty smart - and pretty as hell
                A
Her folks had a farm
But she wouldn't stay of course
                  F#7/A#
She wanted prince charming
                Bm
So she went to LA of course
             F#7b9
Managed to seduce a
Famous actor or producer
                Bm9
Shacked up in a house in the hills
With a cat and a juicer
        F#7b9
- and a fancy car
- and a tennis court.
           Bm9
But the guy wasn't quite
                G#7b9
The catch she'd thought she caught.
   C#m9
He treats her like trash
     B
Then you know the drill
          E
Takes his cat and his cash
          A
And finds some younger girl
         E                     A
So she's left with a stupid corvette
       B
And an empty swimming pool
          G#7/B#           G#7
Which she fills with regret
C#m        C#m/B     A
Smart girl but kinda dumb...

        F#m7
And I'd rather be lonely
     F#7
Than sit on my fanny
B                        B7
Waiting for my prince to come-

E        G#7
One day, some day
           C#m
He'll come sweeping in
    F#
And sweep me off my feet
    F#m
And spend the next 4 decades
E
Wanting to cheat on me
F#9
Getting less handsom
    B
And fighting his dragons.

     Cm
He'd know what to wear
            Bb
He'd have a full head of hair
        Eb
And his eyes would be brown
Or blue.
Ab
Or green.
Well, I dont care.
        Eb
And his body would be toned with those
Ab                   Bbsus4
Pecks you get at the gym
But he won't spend all of his time at the gym.
          Cm
And he'll love reading books,
            Bb
He'll be an excellent cook,
              Eb                    Ab
He'll be good looking but not to aware of his looks.
         Eb
He'll be tender but tough
    Ab
And smart but not smug
     Bb
And attentive but not fawning
And he'll smell good in the morning
           Cm
And he'll dance,
                     Bb
-and like hiking and baking
                   Eb
And biking I'm not picky
                   Ab
I just ask that he likes me
                       Eb
And I like him and I'd rather be alone
       Ab
If the only other option
      Bb
Is to succumb and settly down
          G7/B
With some condescending clown
             Cm               Cm9/Bb
With a great rating from some dating service
     Cm6/A           Abm
Some self professing Mr. Perfect
        Cm           Cm9/Bb
Another narcissistic legend
       Cm6/A          Ab6
Made a million out of hedge funds
        Cm7      Cm7/Bb
Another sexually ineffectual
Cm/A           Abm
Self-obsessing metrosexual
Cm7         G/B
Pseudo-intellectual
        Cm/Bb        Cm/A
Getting drunk and existential.
Ab                             Eb
Every time the steelers lose a game
Fm7             Bb7#5             Bb7
Thanks - but perhaps another day.

Eb       G
One day, some day
   Cm
My prince may come
      F
But I won't hold my breath
        Fm
There's only divorcees
    Eb
And wierdos left
    F9
And weird is fine
    Ab/Bb
But not all the time

Eb      G
One day,some day
   Cm7
My prince will come
       F9
So the fairytale said
Fm                  Eb
30 years later it's still in my head
        F7
That if I screw a frog
       Ab/Bb                        Eb
I will wake up in a four poster bed.
