Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
One, two, three, four
[A][A]

[Verse 1]
In a [A]bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her [E]ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her her [A]name
When the drinks finally hit her,
she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on [D]dreams
Hungry for laughter and [A]here ever after
I'm [E]after whatever the other life [A]brings

[Verse 2]
In the [A]mirror I saw him, I closely watched him
I saw the look in his [E]eye
He came to the woman
who sat there beside me
And slowly started to [A]cry
His big hands were calloused,
he looked like a mountain
For a minute, I thought I was [D]dead
But he started shaking,
his [A]big heart was breaking
As [E]he turned to the woman and [A]said

[Chorus 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 sad times,
lived through some bad times
But this time the hurtin' won't [A]heal
You picked a [E]fine time to leave me, Lu[A]cille

[Verse 3]
[A]After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
She said, "Let's go have a [E]ball"
From the lights of the barroom
to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at [A]all
Lord, she was a beauty,
but when she came to me
She must've thought that I'd lost my [D]mind
I couldn't hold her
'cause the [A]words that he told her
Came [E]back to me 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 sad times,
lived through some bad times
But this time the hurtin' won't [A]heal
You picked a [E]fine time to leave me, Lu[A]cille[A]
