[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In a 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 her n[G]ame
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,
I'm here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life [G]brings
In the mirror I saw him,
and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of [D]place
He [Am]came to the woman
who [D]sat there beside me
He [A]had [Am]a strange loo[D]k on his fac[G]e
The big hands were cast,
he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was [C]dead
He [D]started shakin',
his big heart was breakin'
He turned to the woman and [G]said
You picked a fine time to leave [D]me, Lucy
[C]Four hungry children
and a crop in the [G]field
[C]I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times
This time you're hurtin' won't [G]heal
You picked a [D]fine time to
leave me loose [G]here[A]
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how she'd made
him look [E]small
From the [Bm]lights of the bar room
to a [E]rented hotel room
I [Bm]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,
cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after [A]time
You picked a fine time to leave me,
[D]Lucille
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [A]field
[D]I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't [A]heal
You picked a [E]fine time to leave me, Lu[A]cie
You picked a fine time to leave [D]me, Lucie
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [A]field
[D]I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times
It's time you heard [D]me
