|    In a | bar in Tol | edo, ac | ross from the | depot, on a |barstool she |
    6   -5  5   -5    RRr -4     -5    -5  -5  -5     5  -4 -5  -5    6
| took off her ring. |     I | thought I'd get clo | ser so I walked on |
  -5 5 r -4   -5  -5   -4     6    6   -4   5---->  RR  5   -5     6     6   6  6 
| over   I | sat down and | asked her her name. |  |  When the | drinks fin'ly hit |
   -5   5      6     6  6     6  -5   5  -5    6  6  -6    -7b -6  5     -5
| her, she | said "I'm no | quitter, but I | fin'ly quit | living on | dreams. |
 RRr 6     -7 -7  -7     7  -7   6     -7  -7-7  7    -7  6     6 6    6
|   I'm | hungry for | laughter and | here ever af | ter I'm | after what |
  -6 6  5    -5 5   -3       4        5  -5
| ever the | other life | brings". | In the |

   6  6  6    6   -5  5    6   6   6      6     -5 5-5     6     6   6
| mirror I | saw him and | I closely | watched him. I | thought how he |
     6    -5  5   -5 --->   RRr -4    -5  -5  -5 -5    5  -4     -5   -5   6
| looked out of place. |   |    He | came to the wo | man who | sat there be |
   -5   5 r-4    -5 -5   -4       6   6  -4   5 --->   RR5-5  6    6    6   6 
| side me, he | had a strange | look on his face. |   |  The big hands are cal- |
   -5     5     6      6 -6     6  -5    5 -5    6  6 -6     -7b  -6  5     -5
|loused, he | looked like a | mountain. For a | minute I | thought I was | dead. |
 RRr 6    -7  -7  -7     7 -7   6     -7   -7   -7   7     -7   6   
|   But | he started | shakin' his | big heart was brea | kin', he |
     6    6  5    -5  5  -3     4     r
| turned to the | woman and | said: |     |

 Rr 4     4   4     4    5   6   7     -7  -6     -5    RRr -6     
|  You picked a | fine time to leave | me, Lu | cille. |   With |
    7   7  7    7     -7   -6 -6    7  -7  5      6    
| four hungry chil | dren and a | crop in the | field. |
    7   7    7     7  -7 -6    7     7       7   -7  -6    -6
| I've had some | bad times, lived thru' | some sad times. But |
      7    7    7     7 -7     5       6      6    6    6
 | this time your | hurtin' won't | heal. | You picked a |
    6   -4   5     -5   5 -3     4
| fine time to | leave me Lu | cille. |     |     |     |

   6 6   6     6  -5  5-5  6   6   6       6  -5 5-5    6     6   6   
| After he | left us, I | ordered more | whiskey I | thought how she |
    6   -5   5   -5            -4    -5   -5    -5  -5   5  -4  -5  -5 6  -5 -5 
| made him look small. |     |From lights of | the bar room to | a rented hotel |
    5   -5     -6    -6 -6     7  7   -5  6 ---> R
| room, we | walked without | talkin' at all. |    |
 RRr 5-5  6  6    6 -5    5    6     6    6   6   -5 5-5  6       6    -6  -7b  
|    She was a | beauty, but when | she came to | me she must | have thought I
   -6   5  -5    6  -7  -7    7  -7    6   -7    -7  -7   7   -7
| lost my mind.  I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her
   6    6  6   5    -5   5 -3   4
, kept comin' back time after time.

 Rr 4     4   4     4    5   6   7     -7  -6     -5    RRr -6     
|  You picked a | fine time to leave | me, Lu | cille. |   With |
    7   7  7    7     -7   -6 -6    7  -7  5      6    
| four hungry chil | dren and a | crop in the | field. |
    7   7    7     7  -7 -6    7     7       7   -7  -6    -6
| I've had some | bad times, lived thru' | some sad times. But |
      7    7    7     7 -7     5       6      6    6    6
 | this time your | hurtin' won't | heal. | You picked a |
    6   -4   5     -5   5 -3     4
| fine time to | leave me Lu | cille. |     |     |     | Repeat and fade out
