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

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


[Verse 2]
 A
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
                                E7
I thought how he looked out of place
         Bm                   E7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me,
    Bm            E7          A
he had a strange look on his face

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


[Chorus]
 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


[Verse 3]
 B
After he left us I ordered more whisky, I thought how she'd
               F#7
made him look small
          C#m                          F#7
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room,
    C#m             F#7       B
we walked without talking at all

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


[Chorus]
 B                                    E
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
                                             B
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
 E
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but
                              B
this time your hurting won't heal
                F#7                      B
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
