	E
In a	bar in Toledo across from the depot,

	B7
on a barstool she took off her	ring.

	F#m	B7
I	thought I’d get closer, so	I walked on over,

	F#m	B7	E
I	sat down and	asked her her	name.

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

	E7	A
but I finally quit	living on	dreams.

	B7
I’m	hungry for laughter and here ever after,

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

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

	B7
I thought how he looked out of	place.

	F#m	B7
He	came to the woman who	sat there beside me,

	F#m	B7	E
he	had a strange	look on his	face.

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

	E7	A
for a minute I	thought I was	dead.

	B7
But	he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,

	E
he turned to the woman and	said:

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

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

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

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

		B7	E	F#
	You picked a	fine time to leave me,	Lucille.

	F#
	After he left us I ordered more whiskey,

	C#7
I thought how she made him look	small.

	Abm	C#7
From the	lights of the barroom, to a	rented hotel room,

	Abm	C#7	F#
we	walked without	talking at	all.

	F#
	She was a beauty, but when she came to me,

	F#7	B
she must’ve thought	I’d lost my	mind;

	C#7
	I couldn’t hold her ’cause the words that he told her

	F#
kept coming back time after	time:

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

		F#
	with four hungry children and a crop in the	field.

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

		F#
	but this time your hurtin’ won’t	heal.

		C#7	F#
	You picked a	fine time to leave me,	Lucille.

You picked...
