  			Notes: There's lots of piano and slide guitar in this song, 
and I'm not too great at either... I've transcribed the main 
piano part for guitar, and added the chords to the lyrics. 
Hopefully this is good enough to get you playing along.  
Comments, additions & corrections welcome.

{D}Thank you for your time 
I've got my bag of tricks and some fortifide wine 
Sister you made it all seem true 
When you eased my mind from the burden of proof? 
 
{A}You're gonna have to Bm drag me 
{A}I'll be kicking and Bm screaming 
{A}This life is too Bm short for me 
{E}So come on over, Rita won't you carry me A home 
 
{D}You don't have to find no zone? 
You stay right where you are, she'll do it all on the phone 
I do declare that I have no cares 
Rita came along and told me where I gotta go 
 
{A}You're gonna have to Bm drag me 
{A}I'll be kicking and Bm screaming 
{A}This life is too Bm short for me 
{E}So come on over, Rita won't you carry me A home
