Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
C majorC
In a bar in Toledo Across from the depot
C majorC                 G+G
I watched as she took off her ring
G7G7
I thought I'd get closer So I walked on over
G+G             C majorC
I sat down and asked her name
C majorC
When the drinks finally hit her,
C majorC
She said I'm no quitter
C7C7                G+G
But I finally quit living on dreams

I'm hungry for laughter
        G7G7
And here ever after
            G+G        C majorC
I'm after whatever the other life brings

C majorC
In the mirror I saw him

And I closely watched him
                  G+G
I thought how he looked out of place
G7G7
He came to the woman Who sat there beside me
                C majorC
He had a strange look on his face

C majorC
The big hands were calloused
C majorC
He looked like a mountain
C7C7               G+G
For a minute I thought I was dead
G7G7
Then he started shaking

His big heart was breaking
  G+G              C majorC
He turned to the woman and said


Chorus:
C majorC                     G+G
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

With four hungry children
G7G7           C majorC
And a crop in the field
C majorC
I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times
C7C7                  G+G
But this time you're hurting won't heal
G7G7                    C majorC
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

Verse 2:
D MajorD
After he left us I ordered more whiskey
                   A augmentedA
I thought how she'd made him look small
A augmentedA
From the lights of the bar room
A augmentedA
To a rented hotel room
A augmentedA               D MajorD
We walked without talkin' at all

D MajorD
She was a beauty, But when she came to me
D MajorD                  G+G
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
A augmentedA
I couldn't hold heR, the words that he told her
         A7A7      D MajorD
Kept coming back time after time


Chorus:
D MajorD                     G+G
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                        D MajorD
With four hungry children And a crop in the field
G+G
I've had some bad times, Lived through some sad times
                   D MajorD
But this time you're hurting won't heal
                     D MajorD
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
A7A7                    D MajorD
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille


Chorus:
D MajorD                     G+G
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                        D MajorD
With four hungry children And a crop in the field
G+G
I've had some bad times, Lived through some sad times
                   D MajorD
But this time you're hurting won't heal
                     D MajorD
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
A7A7                    D MajorD
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
