A
E7
In a
bar inToledo, across
from the depot on a bar stool she took off her ring
Bm
E7
Bm
E7
A
I
thought i'd get closer, so I walked on over, I sat down and asked her
name
A7 D
When
the drinks finally hit her, she said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin on
dreams
E7
A
I'm
hungry for laughter, and here ever after, I'm after whatever the other life
brings
A
E7
In the
mirror I saw him and I closely watched him, I thought how he looked out of
place
Bm
E7
Bm
E7
A
He came
to the woman who sat there beside me, he had a strange look on his
face
A7
D
The big
hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain for a minute, I thought I was
dead
E7
A //
stop
But he
started shaking, his big heart was breaking, he turned to the woman and
said
Refrain
D
A
You
picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the
field
D
A
I've
had some bad times, lived through some sad times but this time your hurting won’t
heal
E7
A
You
picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.
A
E7
After
he left us, I ordered more whisky, I thought how she'd made him look
small
Bm
E7
Bm
E7 A
From
the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room we walked without talking at
all
A7
D
She was
a beauty but when she came to me, she must have thought I'd lost my
mind
E7
A //
stop
I
could'nt hold her, 'cos the words that he told her kept coming back time after
time
Refrain
