Song: (A Fine Time To Leave Me) Lucille Artist: Waylon Jennings Album: Ol' Waylon (1977) [Intro]
N.C.                      A
One, two, three, four,
[Verse]
A
In a barroom 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.
[Verse]
A
When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm no quitter

                             D
But I finally quit livin' on dreams

                        A
Hungry for laughter and here ever after

    E                             A
I'm after whatever the other life brings.
[Verse]
A
In the mirror I saw him I closely watched him

                      E
I saw the look in his eyes
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
                      A
And slowly started to cry.
[Verse]
A
His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain

                             D
For a minute I thought I was dead

                           A
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking

   E                          A
As he turned to the woman and said.
[Chorus]
N.C.                               D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

                                              A
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field

D
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times

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

             E                       A
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
[Verse]
A
After he left us I ordered more whiskey

                         E
She said let's go have a ball
From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room
                             A
We walked without talkin' at all.
[Verse]
A
Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me

                                     D
She must've thought that I'd lost my mind

                               A
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her

     E                     A
Came back to me time after time.
[Chorus]
N.C.                               D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

                                              A
With a four hungry children and a crop in the field

D
I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times

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

             E                       A
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
