Capo I Intro : A

A 
In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,

                                E
On a barstool she took off her ring.

I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over.

                              A 
I sat down and asked her her name.

When the drinks finally hit her, she said, Im no quitter

                              D    
But I finally quit living on dreams.

 E
I'm hungry for laughter, and here ever after

                                    A
Whatever the other life brings."

In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him. I thought how he looked out of place. He came to the woman who sat there beside me He had a strange look on his face. The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain, For a minute I thought I was dead. But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking, He turned to the woman and said, (Chorus)

                                        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, I've lived through some sad times,

                            A    
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.

                E                    A  ---------> B 
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

B 
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey.

                                   F#
I thought how she'd made him look small.

From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room

                             B 
we walked without talking at all.

She was a beauty, but when she came to me

                                   E
She must have thought I'd lost my mind.

 F#
I couldn't hold her, for the words that he told her

                             B 
Kept comin' back time after time.

(Chorus)

                                       E
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

                                             B
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.

 E
I've had some bad times,

I've lived through some sad times,

                                 B
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.

             F#                    B 
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

(Chorus) "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

                                             B
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.

 E
I've had some bad times,

I've lived through some sad times,

                                 B
But this time the hurtin' won't heal.

             F#                    B 
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
