[Intro]
A# (8x)
[Verse 1]
A#
In a bar in Toledo
across from the depot on a
F7
bar stool she took off her ring
Cm
I thought I'd get closer
F7
so I walked on over,
Cm F7 A#
I sat down and asked her name
A#
When the drinks finally hit her
she said I'm no
quitter but I finally
A#7 D#
quit livin' on dreams
F7
I'm hungry for laughter
and here ever after I'm
[walkdown]
after whatever the other
A#
life brings
[Verse 2]
A#
In the mirror I saw him
and I closely watched him
A#
I thought how he looked
F7
out of place
Cm
He came to the woman
F7
who sat there beside me,
Cm F7 A#
he had a strange look on his face
A#
The big hands were calloused,
he looked like a mountain,
A#7 D#
for a minute I thought I was dead
F7
But he started shaking,
his big heart was breaking,
A#
he turned to the woman and said
[Chorus]
A#
You picked a fine time
D#
to leave me Lucille
D#
with four hungry children
A#
and a crop in the field
D#
I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times,
D#
but this time
A#
your hurting won't heal
F7
You picked a fine time
A#
to leave me Lucille
[shift to C ]
[Verse 3]
C
After he left us
I ordered more whisky,
I thought how she'd
G7
made him look small
Dm
From the lights of the bar room
G7
to a rented hotel room,
Dm G7 C
we walked without talking at all
C
She was a beauty
but when she came to me
C
she must have thought
C7 F
I'd lost my mind
G7
I couldn't hold her
'cos the words
that he told her kept
C
coming back time after time
[Chorus]
C
You picked a fine time
F
to leave me Lucille
F
with four hungry children
C
and a crop in the field
F
I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times,
F
but this time
C
your hurting won't heal
G7
You picked a fine time
C
to leave me Lucille
