Verse
      A                               
In a bar in To-ledo ac-ross 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 I
 Bm           E7        A       
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 what-ever the other life brings
Verse
 A                                     
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I
                              E7       
thought how he looked out of place
         Bm                   E7               
He came to the woman who sat there be-side me he
 Bm            E7          A        
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 Lu-cille
                                             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 Lu-cille.
Verse
 A                                       
After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
               E7      
made him look small
          Bm                          E7        
From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel room we
 Bm             E7         A       
walked without talking at all
                                    
She was a beauty but when she came to me she
                   A7          D       
must have thought I'd lost my mind
 E7                                      
I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept
                        A
coming back time after time
Chorus
 A                                     D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
                                             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 Lu-cille.
