[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]The sound that [D]you're listening [G]to
[D]Is from my gui[A]tar that's nam[D]ed
[A]Lucille[D]
I'm very crazy about Lucille,
[G]Lucille too[D]k me from the pla[G]ntation[D]
[A]Or you mig[D]ht say, brought me [A]fame[D][A]
I don't think I could just [G]talk enough
about [D]Lucille
Sometime when I'm [G]blue seem like Lucille
try to help me [D]call my name
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
I used to sing [A]spirituals and
I thought that [G]this
Was the thing that [A]I wanted
[D]to do
But somehow or [G]other When I went in [D]the army [G]I picked up [D]on Lucille,
[A]and [D]started the singing blues
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
[A]
[G]Well, now when [D]I'm paying [A]my dues,
[D]
Maybe you [G]don't know what I mean when I say paying dues,
[D]I mean when things are bad w[A]ith me[D]
[A]I can always, I can al[G]ways, you know like,
[D]depend on Lucille

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
Sort [D]of hard to talk to you myself
I guess I'll let [A]Lu cille say a [D]few words

[Interlude 2]
and then
[A][D][A][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]You know,
[D]I doubt if you can feel it like I [A]do[D]
But when I think about the things
that I've [G]gone through,
[D]Like, well for in[A]stance,
[D]if I have a gir[A]lfriend and she misuses me,[D]
[G]And I go home at night,
[D]maybe I'm[G] lonely
Well not [D]maybe, I am lonely,
[A]I pick up Lucille
[D]And[A] it bring out those funny sounds that sound [G]good to me,
[D]you know?
[G]Sometime I get to the [A]place where
I can't even [D]say nothing[A][D]
[A]Look out[D][G][D][A]
[D]Sometime I think it's crying

[Interlude 3]

[D][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
You know, if I could [A]sing pop tunes
[G]like Frank [D]Sinatra or,
Sammy Davis Junior,
[G]I don't thi[D]nk I still could do it,[A][D]
'Cause Lucille don't wanna
[A]play nothing but the blues
And I [G]think I'm,
I think I'm pretty glad [D]about that
[G]'Cause don't nobody [A]sing
to me [D]like Lucille[A]
Sing, [D]Lucille

[Interlude 4]

[Verse 7]
Well, I'll put it [A]like this, take it easy, Lucille
[D]I l[A]ike the way Sammy sings
and I like the way Frank sings,
[G]But I can get a lit[D]tle Frank, Sammy,
A little Ray Charles, in fact [G]all the people with soul [D]in this
[A]

[Verse 10]
[D]You know,
I imagine a lot of [A]you wanna know,
A lot of you wan[D]na know
why I [A]call the guitar Lucille
[G]Luc[D]ille has practically saved
my life [A]two or three [D]times
[A]No kidding, it really [G]has

[Verse 11]
[D]I remember once I was in an aut[G]omobile accident,
[A]and[D]
When the car stopped turning [A]over,
[D]it fell over on Lu [A]cille,
And it held it up off me, really,
it held it up [G]off me[D]
So that's one [G]time it saved my [D]life

[Verse 12]
[A]The way, the way [D]I came by
the name of Lucille,
[G]I was Over in Twist, Ark[D]ansas,
I know you've never heard of that one, have you?
And one [A]night [D]the[G] guys started a ball over t[D]here,
you know, started brawling, [G]you know what [D]I mean
And the guy [A]that was mad with [D]his old lady,
[A]When she fell over on this gas
tank that was burning for [G]heat,
The gas ran all over the [D]floor
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 13]
[D]And when the gas ran all [G]over the floor,
the building
[D]Caught on fire,
[A]and almost burned me [D]up trying to save Lucille
[G]Oh I, I imagine you're still
wondering why I call it Lucille
The lady that started that brawl [D]that night

[Interlude 8]
was named Lucille
[D][A][D][A][G]

[Verse 14]
[G]And that's been Lu[A]cille
[D]ever since [G]to me
[D]One more now, Lucille
