Capo I
Intro : A
[A]In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
On a barstool she took off her r[E]ing.
I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over.
I sat down and asked her her n[A]ame.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said, Im no quitter
But I finally quit living on d[D]reams.
I[E]'m hungry for laughter, and here ever after
Whatever the other life brings."[A]
In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him.
I thought how he looked out of place.
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face.
The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain,
For a minute I thought I was dead.
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,
He turned to the woman and said,
(Chorus)
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Luc[D]ille
With four hungry children and a crop in the fi[A]eld.
I'[D]ve had some bad times, I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' wo[A]n't heal.
E A ---------> B
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
[B]After he left us, I ordered more whiskey.
I thought how she'd made him look s[F#]mall.
From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
we walked without talking at [B]all.
She was a beauty, but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my m[E]ind.
I[F#] couldn't hold her, for the words that he told her
Kept comin' back time after t[B]ime.
(Chorus)
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lu[E]cille
With four hungry children and a crop in the f[B]ield.
I[E]'ve had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' won't h[B]eal.
You picked a [F#]fine time to leave me,[B] Lucille.
(Chorus)
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

I[E]'ve had some bad times,
I've lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin' won't h[B]eal.
You picked a [F#]fine time to leave me,[B] Lucille.
