A In a bar in Toledo across from the depot E On a barstool she took off her ring Bm E I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over Am E A I sat down and asked her name A When the drink finally hit her she said I’m no quitter A7 D But I finally quit living on dreams E I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after A I’m after whatever the other life brings A In the mirror I saw him I closely watch him E I thought how he looked out of place Bm E He came to the woman who sat there beside me Bm E A He had a strange look on his face A The big hands where calloused he looked like a mountain A7 D For a minute I thought I was dead E But he started shaking his big heart was breaking A He turned to the woman and said A D You picked the fine time to leave me Lucille A Four hungry children and a crop in the field D I’ve had some bad time live through some sad times A But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal E D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A After he left us I ordered more whiskey E I thought how he made him look small Bm E From lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room Bm E G We walked without talking at all A She was a beauty but when she came to me A7 D She must have thought I’d lost my mind E I couldn’t hold her the words that he told her A Kept coming back time after time A D You picked the fine time to leave me Lucille A Four hungry children and a crop in the field D I’ve had some bad time live through some sad times A But this time your hurting wouldn’t heal E D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
