Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C
In a bar in Toledo Across from the depot
C                                 G
I watched as she took off her ring
G7
I thought I'd get closer So I walked on over
G                         C
I sat down and asked her name
C
When the drinks finally hit her,
C
She said I'm no quitter
C7                                G
But I finally quit living on dreams

I'm hungry for laughter
               G7
And here ever after
                       G                C
I'm after whatever the other life brings

C
In the mirror I saw him

And I closely watched him
                                    G
I thought how he looked out of place
G7
He came to the woman Who sat there beside me
                                C
He had a strange look on his face

C
The big hands were calloused
C
He looked like a mountain
C7                              G
For a minute I thought I was dead
G7
Then he started shaking

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


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

With four hungry children
G7                     C
And a crop in the field
C
I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times
C7                                    G
But this time you're hurting won't heal
G7                                       C
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille


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

D
She was a beauty, But when she came to me
D                                    G
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
A
I couldn't hold heR, the words that he told her
                 A7            D
Kept coming back time after time


Chorus:
D                                          G
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                                D
With four hungry children And a crop in the field
G
I've had some bad times, Lived through some sad times
                                      D
But this time you're hurting won't heal
                                          D
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
A7                                        D
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille


Chorus:
D                                          G
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                                D
With four hungry children And a crop in the field
G
I've had some bad times, Lived through some sad times
                                      D
But this time you're hurting won't heal
                                          D
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
A7                                        D
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
