Capo I
Intro : A
A
In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
E
On a barstool she took off her ring.
I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over.
A
I sat down and asked her her name.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said, Im no quitter
D
But I finally quit living on dreams.
E
I'm hungry for laughter, and here ever after
A
Whatever the other life brings."
In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him.
I thought how he looked out of place.
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face.
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain,
For a minute I thought I was dead.
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,
He turned to the woman and said,
(Chorus)
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, I've lived through some sad times,
A
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.
E A ---------> B
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
B
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey.
F#
I thought how she'd made him look small.
From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
B
we walked without talking at all.
She was a beauty, but when she came to me
E
She must have thought I'd lost my mind.
F#
I couldn't hold her, for the words that he told her
B
Kept comin' back time after time.
(Chorus)
E
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
B
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
E
I've had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
B
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.
F# B
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
(Chorus)
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
B
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
E
I've had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
B
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.
F# B
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
