Lucille Chords by Billy Currington

[Start]

[Verse]
Bb                                         
■  In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
                                F   
On a bar stool she took off her ring
  C               C7     Cm7
I thought I'd get closer ■  
F                  
So I walked on over
  C   Cm7      F             Bb  
I sat down and asked her her name
         Bb                    
When the drinks finally hit her
    Bb                 
She said I'm no quitter
                             Eb    
But I finally quit living on dreams
F                      
I'm hungry for laughter
    F              
And here ever after
                                  Bb    
I'm after whatever the other life brings
   Bb                  
In the mirror I saw him
Bb                       
And I closely watched him
                               F     F7
I thought how he looked out of place ■ 
Cm7                 
He came to the woman
F                      
Who sat there beside me
Cm7              F           Bb  
He had a strange look on his face
    Bb                      
The big hands were calloused
   Bb                    
He looked like a mountain
                             Eb  
For a minute I thought I was dead
F                     
But he started shaking
    F                     
His big heart was breaking
                           Bb  
He turned to the woman and said
                                   Eb     
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille


[Chorus]
                                            Bb   
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
Eb                     
I've had some bad times
     Eb                          
I've lived through some sad times
                          Bb        
But this time the hurtin' won't heal
             F                     Bb      C
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille ■


[Verse]
      C                                
After he left us I ordered more whiskey
                                  G    
I thought how she'd made him look small
         Dm     Dm7                   G                
From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
Dm                G          C  
We walked without talking at all
C                                       
She was a beauty but when she came to me
C7                                F   
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
G                                                 
I couldn't hold her for the words that he told her
                            C   
Kept comin' back time after time
                                   F      
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille


[Chorus]
                                            C    
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
F                      
I've had some bad times
     F                           
I've lived through some sad times
                                C   
But this time the hurtin' won't heal
             G                     C      
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
                                   F      
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
                                            C    
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
F                      
I've had some bad times
     F                           
I've lived through some sad times
                          C         
But this time the hurtin' won't heal
             G                     C      
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
