[Verse 1]
     G
In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
                                    D7
On a bar stool she took off her ring
  Am
I thought I'd get closer
   D7
So I walked on over
  Am           D7            G
I sat down and asked 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
He came to the woman
    D7
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
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  C
Lucille

[Chorus]
With four hungry children
                  G
And a crop in the field
C
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                                   G
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             D7
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  G    A
Lucille

[Verse 2]
A
After he left us
I ordered more whiskey
                            Asus2 A    E7
I thought how she'd made him      look small
         Bm
From the lights of the bar room
     E7
To a rented hotel room
   Bm             E7         A
We walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
                  Asus2
But when she came to   me
                               A7     D
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
E
I couldn't hold her
         E7
'Cuz the words that he told her
                      E6 E7     A
Kept coming back time after time
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  D
Lucille

[Chorus]
With four hungry children
           Dsus2 D   A
And a crop in    the field
A7 D
   I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                        Dsus2      A
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             E7
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  A
Lucille
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  D
Lucille

[Outro]
With four hungry children
           Dsus2 D   A    A7
And a crop in    the field

[Fade Out]
D
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                        Dsus2      A
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             E7
You picked a fine time to leave me,
  A
