Lucille

A In a bar in Toledo across from the depot A E on a bar stool she took off her ring. Bm E I thought I'd get closer Bm E so I walked on over Bm E A I sat down and asked her name. A When the drinks finally hit her A she said I'm no quitter A7 D but I finally quit livin on dreams E I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after A I'm after what the other life brings. A In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him E I thought how he looked out of place. Bm E Bm E He came to the woman who sat there beside me Bm E A he had a strange look on his face. A His big hands were calloused A he looked like a mountain A7 D for a minute I thought I was dead E He started shaking his big heart was E7 A breaking he turned to the woman and said: A D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A with four hungry children and a crop in the field D I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but A this time your hurting won't heal E A you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. A After he left us I ordered more whiskey E I thought how she'd made him look small Bm E From the lights of the bar room Bm E to a rented hotel room Bm E A we walked without talking at all A She was a beauty but when she came to me A7 D she must have thought I'd lost my mind E I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her E7 A kept coming back time after time A D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A with four hungry children and a crop in the field D I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but A this time your hurting won't heal E A you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
