Tom: A
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
