Little Rita lost her home
C              D
20 years going up in smoke 
G        D/F#   Em7            A7   Am7
Standing in the ash of all she knew
G         D/F#   Em7
Sweets is crying on the phone

She's not quite sure where to go

'Cause home is where the heart is
       Am       D      G
And my heart is always near
  Em7           A7                  Am
I promise in no time that you'll be finе

Sometimes life just isn't fair

That Mama's boy been holding back his tears
G               Em7
Papa can't help cracking jokes

He can't yet say goodbye to the golden years
