[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
In a [G]bar in Toledo,
across from the depot,
On a bar stool she took off her [D]ring.
I [Am]thought I'd get closer
So [D]I walked on over.
I [Am]sat down and a[D]sked
her [G]her [Gm]name.[G]
When the drinks finally hit her,
She said, "I'm no quitter,
But I finally quit living on [C]dreams.
I'm [D]hungry for laughter,
And here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life [G]brings."

[Verse 2]
In the [G]mirror I saw him,
And I closely watched him.
I thought how he looked out of [D]place.
He [Am]came to the woman
[D]Who sat there beside me.
He [Am]had a strange l[D]ook on his f[G]ace.
The big hands were calloused,
He looked like a mountain,
For a minute I thought I was [C]dead.
But [D]he started shaking,
His big heart was breaking,
[G]He [D]turned to the woman and said,
[G]

[Verse 3]
"You picked a fine time to leave me,
[C]Lucille
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [G]field.
[C]I've had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' won't [G]heal.
You picked a [D]fine time to leave me,
Lucille.
[G][A]

[Verse 4]
After he left us,
I ordered more whiskey.
I thought how she'd
made him look [E]small.
From the [Bm]lights of the barroom to
the [E]rented hotel room
[Bm]We walked without [E]talking at [A]all.
She was a beauty,
but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my [D]mind.
[E]I couldn't hold her,
for the words that he told her
Kept comin' back time after time.
[A]

[Verse 5]
"You picked a fine time to leave me,
Lu[D]cille
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [A]field.
[D]I've had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' won't [A]heal.
You picked [E]a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
[A]

[Verse 6]
"You picked a fine time to leave me,
Lu[D]cille
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [A]field.
[D]I've had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' won't [A]heal.
You picked [E]a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
