[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
In a [G]bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool, 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 livin' 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
who [D]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
He turned to the woman and [G]said

[Chorus 1]
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lu[C]cille
With four hungry children
and a crop in the [G]field
[C]I've had some bad times,
lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't [G]heal
You picked a [D]fine time to leave me, Lu[G]cille"[A]

[Verse 3]
[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 barroom
To a [E]rented hotel room
We [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

[Chorus 2]
"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,
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]cille"

[Outro 1]
"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,
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]cille"
[Repeat and fade]
