Lucille
Kenny Rogers

     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

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

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

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