Capo 0-1 LUCILLE
Time = 3/4
[Verse]
A
In a bar in To-ledo ac-ross 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 I
Bm E7 A
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 what-ever the other life brings
[Verse]
A
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I
E7
thought how he looked out of place
Bm E7
He came to the woman who sat there be-side me he
Bm E7 A
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 Lu-cille
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 Lu-cille.
[Verse]
A
After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
E7
made him look small
Bm E7
From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel room we
Bm E7 A
walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me she
A7 D
must have thought I'd lost my mind
E7
I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept
A
coming back time after time
[Chorus]
A D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
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 Lu-cille.
