Intro:
SIb

     SIb          
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
                                FA7
On a barstool, she took off her ring
  DOm                       FA7            
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
  DOm          FA7       SIb

I sat down and asked her name

When the drinks finally hit her 

she said "I'm no quitter
                   SIb7      MIb

But I finally quit livin' on dreams
    FA7                       
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
                                  SIb
I'm after whatever the other life brings"
   
       SIb
In the mirror, 

I saw him and I closely watched him
                               FA7
I thought how he looked out of place
   DOm                   FA7

He came to the woman who sat there beside me
   DOm           FA7         SIb

He had a strange look on his face

The big hands were calloused, 
                  
he looked like a mountain
               SIb7          MIb

For a minute I thought I was dead
    FA
But he started shaking, 
                  
his big heart was breaking
                           SIb
He turned to the woman and said

                                       MIb
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                          
With four hungry children 
                  SIb
and a crop in the field
MIb
I've had some bad times, 
                       
lived through some sad times
                                 SIb
But this time your hurting won't heal
             FA7                      SIb

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"

After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
                                  SOL7
I thought how she'd made him look small
         REm
From the lights of the barroom
     SOL7
To a rented hotel room
   REm            SOL7       DO

We walked without talking at all
                                   
She was a beauty but when she came to me
                      DO7         FA

She must have thought I'd lost my mind
SOL
I couldn't hold her 
           SOL7   
'cause the words that he told her
                            DO
Kept coming back time after time

                                       FA
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                            DO
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
FA        
I've had some bad times, 
                       
lived through some sad times
                                 DO
But this time your hurting won't heal
             SOL                      DO

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                      FA
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                            DO
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
FA
I've had some bad times, 

lived through some sad times
                                 DO
But this time your hurting won't heal
             SOL7                     DO

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille"
