[Intro]
D
[Verse]
A D When we left, it was cold A D Each other's hands we had to hold A D We was drunk in Tennessee A D She got drunk, as drunk as me F#m Bm E She run up the hill, she cried and cried G D E A I run down the other side
[Chorus]
G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A D Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse]
A D Police come, they took my wine. A D They put us in jail, hundred-dollar fine. A D I could hear her cryin' over the wall A D In the women's detention hall. F#m Bm E I got on the phone, my mama spoke, G D E A "Sorry, son, but your mama's broke!"
[Chorus]
G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A D Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse]
A D Wherever I go I get sad. A D Seems like sorrow lives in the air. A D In the wide-open skies of California, A D They have sorrow way out there. F#m Bm E Five gets ya ten that ya don't get past; G D E A Five gets ya ten that ya better go fast.
[Chorus]
G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A D Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse]
A D Oh, Harry Hubcaps and Jack the Fluke, A D They bought a bottle, a bottle for Luke. A D They was buddies, but they had a fight; A D They broke the jukebox, they broke the light. F#m Bm E Big ol' Fluke weigh three-hundred pounds; G D E A Fell on Harry when Harry fell down.
[Chorus]
G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A D Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
[Verse]
A D My old lady says, "Gimme that wine." A D I said, "Honey, quit drinking sometime." A D She said, "Snock, it's not my fault! A D Had to eat my porkchop without no salt." F#m Bm E She run up the hill, she cried and cried G D E A I run down the other side
[Chorus]
G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A Oh, sweet Lucy G A D Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
