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