Kenny Rogers
#(In a moderate country 3/4)
In a
G
bar in Toledo across from the depot,
on a barstool she took off her
D7
ring.
I
Am
thought I'd get closer, so
D7
I walked on over,
I
Am
sat down and
D7
asked her her
G
name.
When the
G
drinks fin'ly hit her, she said, "I'm no quitter,
but I fin'ly quit
G7
living on
C
dreams.
I'm
D7
hungry for laughter and here ever after,
I'm after whatever the other life
G
brings."
In the
G
mirror I saw him and I closely watched him,
I thought how he looked out of
D7
place.
He
Am
came to the woman who
D7
sat there beside me,
he
Am
had a strange
D7
look on his
G
face.
The
G
big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain,
for a minute I
G7
thought I was
C
dead.
But
D7
he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,
he turned to the woman and
G
said:
You picked a fine time to leave me,
C
Lucille,
with four hungry children and crops in the
G
field.
C
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times,
but this time your hurtin' won't
G
heal.
You picked a
D7
fine time to leave me,
G
Lucille.
A
A
After he left us I ordered more whiskey,
I thought how she made him look
E7
small.
From the
Bm
lights of the barroom, to a
E7
rented hotel room,
we
Bm
walked without
E7
talking at
A
all.
A
She was a beauty, but when she came to me,
she must've thought
A7
I'd lost my
D
mind;
E7
I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her
kept coming back time after
A
time:
You picked a fine time to leave me,
D
Lucille,
with four hungry children and crops in the
A
field.
D
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times,
but this time your hurtin' won't
A
heal.
You picked a
E7
fine time to leave me,
A
Lucille.
