G
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
D7
on a bar stool she took off her ring
Am D7
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over,
Am D7 G
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her
G7 C
she said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin' on dreams
D7
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
G
I'm after whatever the other life brings
G
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
D7
I thought how he looked out of place
Am D7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me,
Am D7 G
he had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain
G7 C
for a minute I thought I was dead
D7
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking
G
He turned to the woman and said
G C
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
G
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
C
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times,
G
but this time your hurting won't heal
D7 G
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
A
After he left us I ordered more whisky,
E7
I thought how she'd made him look small
Bm E7
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room,
Bm E7 A
we walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
A7 D
she must have thought I'd lost my mind
E7
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
A
kept coming back time after time
A D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
A
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
D
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times,
A
but this time your hurting won't heal
E7 A
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 2x
