[Verse 1]
      A
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a

                            E7
bar stool she took off her ring

  Bm                        E7
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over,

  Bm           E7        A
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no
                           A7        D
quitter but I finally quit livin' on dreams

    E7
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm

                              A
after whatever the other life brings
[Verse 2]
 A
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him

                                E7
I thought how he looked out of place

   Bm                    E7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me,

   Bm            E7          A
he had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a
                         A7            D
mountain, for a minute I thought I was dead

       E7
But he started shaking, his big heart was

                                     A
breaking, he turned to the woman and said
[Chorus]
 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

             E7                    A
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
[Verse 3]
 B
After he left us I ordered more whisky, I thought how she'd

              F#7
made him look small

         C#m                         F#7
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room,

   C#m            F#7        B
we walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
                      B7          E
she must have thought I'd lost my mind

 F#7
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her kept

                        B
coming back time after time
[Chorus]
 B                                    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, lived through some sad times, but

                              B
this time your hurting won't heal

                F#7                      B
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
