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
|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
|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.
|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
|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.
