     A                                                                     E7  
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a bar stool she took off her ring  
  Bm                        E7                  Bm           E7        A         
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over, I sat down and asked her name  
         A                                                                  A7       D   
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter but I fin'lly quit living on dreams  
    E7                                                                        A  
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings  
    A                                                                               E7 
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place  
   Bm                        E7                  Bm           E7        A   
He came to the woman who sat there be side me he had a strange look on his face  
         A                                                                  A7       D   
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain for a minute I thought I was dead  
    E7                                                                        A  
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking he turned to the woman and said  

A D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 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 Lucille
Chord change Up one full step FINAL VERSE AND CHORUSES PLAY UP ONE FULL STEP A E7 After he left us I ordered more whiskey I thought how she'd made him look small Bm E7 Bm E7 A From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room, we walked without talking at all A A7 D She was a beauty but when she came to me she must have thought I'd lost my mind E7 A I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her kept coming back time after time
A D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille 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 Lucille
