Capo 1

In a b[A]ar in Toledo 
across from the depot on a
bar stool she took off her r[E7]ing
I [Bm]thought I'd get closer 
so [E7]I walked on over,
I [Bm]sat down and [E7]asked her [A]name

When the drinks finally 
hit her she said I'm no
quitter but I finally 
quit [A7]livin' on [D]dreams
I'm [E7]hungry for laughter 
and here ever after I'm
after whatever the other life [A]brings

I[A]n the mirror I saw him 
and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked 
out of p[E7]lace
He [Bm]came to the woman 
who [E7]sat there beside me,
he [Bm]had a strange [E7]
look on his [A]face

The big hands were calloused, 
he looked like a
mountain, for a minute 
I [A7]thought I was [D]dead
But he [E7]started shaking, 
his big heart was
breaking, he turned to 
the woman and [A]said

Y[A]ou picked a fine time 
to leave me Luc[D]ille
with four hungry children 
and a crop in the f[A]ield
I[D]'ve had some bad times, 
lived through some sad times, but
this time your hurting won't [A]heal
You picked a [E7]fine time 
to leave me [A]Lucille

A[B]fter he left us I ordered more whisky, 
I thought how she'd
made him look [F#7]small
From the [C#m]lights of the bar room 
to a [F#7]rented hotel room,
we [C#m]walked without [F#7]talking at [B]all

She was a beauty but when she came to me
she must have thought [B7]I'd 
lost my [E]mind
I[F#7]couldn't hold her 'cos 
the words that he told her kept
coming back time after t[B]ime

Y[B]ou picked a fine time 
to leave me Luc[E]ille
with four hungry children 
and a crop in the f[B]ield
I[E]'ve had some bad times, 
lived through some sad times, but
this time your hurting won't h[B]eal
You picked a fin[F#7]e time 
to leave me Lucill[B]e
