Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a bar stool she [D]took off her ring
[Am]I thought I'd get closer
So [D]I walked on over
I sat down and asked her [G]name
When the drinks finally hit her
She said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on [C]dreams
I'm [D]hungry for laughter
And here ever after
I'm after whatever [G]the other
life brings
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out [D]of place
He [Am]came to the woman
Who [F#dim]sat there beside me
He had a strange look [D]on his [G]face
The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was [C]dead
But [D]he started shakin'
His big heart was breakin'
He turned to the woman [G]and said

[Verse 3]
You [G]picked a fine time to
leave me Lu[C]cille
With four hungry children
And a crop in [G]the field
[C]I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't [G]heal
You picked [D]a fine time to
leave me [G]Lucille

[Verse 4]
[G]
After he left us
I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made
him look [D]small
From the [Am]lights of the bar room
To a [F#dim]rented hotel room
[D]We walked without talkin' at [G]all
She was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost [C]my mind
[D]I couldn't hold her
'Cause the words that he told her
Kept coming back time [G]after time

[Verse 5]
You [G]picked a fine time to
[D]leave me Lu[C]cille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the [G]field
[C]I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin'
won't [G]heal
You picked [D]a fine time to leave me Lucille
[G]

[Outro 1]
[D][G]
