	G
In a	bar in Toledo across from the depot,

	D7
on a barstool she took off her	ring.

	Am	D7
I	thought I’d get closer, so	I walked on over,

	Am	D7	G
I	sat down and	asked her her	name.

	G
When the	drinks finally hit her, she said, „I’m no quitter,“

	G7	C
but I finally quit	living on	dreams.

	D7
I’m	hungry for laughter and here ever after,

	G
I’m after whatever the other life	brings.“

	G
In the	mirror I saw him and I closely watched him,

	D7
I thought how he looked out of	place.

	Am	D7
He	came to the woman who	sat there beside me,

	Am	D7	G
he	had a strange	look on his	face.

	G
The	big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain,

	G7	C
for a minute I	thought I was	dead.

	D7
But	he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,

	G
he turned to the woman and	said:

		C
	You picked a fine time to leave me,	Lucille,

		G
	with four hungry children and a crop in the	field.

		C
		I’ve had some bad times, lived through some sad times,

		G
	but this time your hurtin’ won’t	heal.

		D7	G	A
	You picked a	fine time to leave me,	Lucille.

	A
	After he left us I ordered more whiskey,

	E7
I thought how she made him look	small.

	Bm	E7
From the	lights of the barroom, to a	rented hotel room,

	Bm	E7	A
we	walked without	talking at	all.

	A
	She was a beauty, but when she came to me,

	A7	D
she must’ve thought	I’d lost my	mind;

	E7
	I couldn’t hold her ’cause the words that he told her

	A
kept coming back time after	time:

		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,

		A
	but this time your hurtin’ won’t	heal.

		E7	A
	You picked a	fine time to leave me,	Lucille.

You picked...
