A In a bar in Toledo across from the depot E7 On a barstool she took off her ring Bm E7 I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over Am E7 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 E7 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 E7 I thought how he looked out of place Bm E7 He came to the woman who sat there beside me Bm E7 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 E7 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 E7 D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A After he left us I ordered more whiskey E7 I thought how he made him look small Bm E7 From lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room Bm E7 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 E7 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 E7 D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
