A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille

Capo 1 N.C A One, two, three, four, A In a barroom in Toledo across from the depot E On a barstool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over A I sat down and asked her, her name. A When the drinks fin'lly hit her she said I'm no quitter D But I finally quit livin' on dreams A Hungry for laughter and here ever after E A I'm after whatever the other life brings. A In the mirror I saw him I closely watched him E I saw the look in his eyes He came to the woman who sat there beside me A And slowly started to cry. A His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain D For a minute I thought I was dead A But he started shaking his big heart was breaking E A As he turned to the woman and said. N.C D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A With a four hungry children and a crop in the field D I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times A But this time your hurtin' won't heal. E A You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. A After he left us I ordered more whiskey E She said let's go have a ball From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room A We walked without talkin' at all. A Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me D She must've thought that I'd lost my mind A I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her E A Came back to me time after time. N.C D You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille A With a four hungry children and a crop in the field D I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times A But this time your hurtin' won't heal. E A You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
