A---------------------------------------------------------------E7
1) In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a bar stool she took off her ring
2) In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place
3) After he left us I ordered more whiskey I thought how she'd made him look small

Bm-----------------------E7---------Bm-----------E7------A
1) I thought I'ld get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name
2) He came to the woman who sat there beside me he had a strange look on his face
3) From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room we walked without talking at all

A-----------------------------------------------------------A7---------D
1) When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin' on dreams
2) His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain for a minute I thought I was dead
3) She was a beauty but when she came to me she must have thought I'd lost my mind

E7 ----------------------------------------------------------------A
1) I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings
2) But he started shaking his big heart was breaking he turned to the woman and said chorus:
3) I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that told her kept coming back time after time chorus:

chorus: A You picked a fine time to leave me Lu- D cille
with four hungry children and a crop in the A field
D I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but this time your hurting won't A heal
you picked a E7 fine time to leave me Lu- A cille.
