Chords for Kenny Rogers - Lucille

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ You recognize that? _
That's right. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ loved it.
[Bb] I did that the other night with some guy in the front seat.
I didn't [Bbm] know he had a recording of that.
_ _ Hey, _ before we do Lucille, [Db] let me take just a quick second and tell you [Bbm] something about it.
This is an unusual song.
In the trade, this is called a four-beer song.
[G] Which means after [Bb] four beers, you literally [B] have to [Bbm] sandbag your cheeks.
This is a crying _ country song.
The thing that I think separates this song from most songs is that there's somebody that everybody can feel sorry for.
The first people I met, they felt sorry for Lucille.
Now, she's the girl who left the man at home.
I don't understand that at [G] all.
Another group of people I met felt sorry for the [Bb] big strong man with the [Bbm] crops in the field. _ _
[Gm] I ran across a bizarre group of people that felt sorry for the crops in the field.
I mean, isn't it?
_ _ _ _ But there's one [Bbm] unsung hero in this song.
And that's the guy who worked so hard and struck out.
And [G] nobody seems to care about him.
I don't [Bbm] understand.
Now, here's a guy who put in four hours of his time.
_ Ate piña coladas.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Bbm] A chili dog or two in a four-dollar room which he had booked a month in advance.
_ _ He even went so far as to have a two-tone pillowcase.
Satin pillowcase. _
_ _ Said, welcome to [Bb] Toledo. _
That's who this song is for for my money, I'll tell you.
In a bar in Toledo. _
Across the _ street.
On a bus.
She took off [F] and left. _ _ _
[Cm] I thought I had found her. _
[F] So I walked on the road.
[Cm] I sat down [A] and asked her [Bb] her name. _ _
[Gm] _ [Bb] When the drinks finally hit her.
She said I'm no quitter.
_ But I finally quit [Db] living [D] [Eb] on the street. _
_ _ [E] [F] I'm hungry [C] for [F] laughter.
Here ever after.
I'm after _ whatever the other [A] [Bb] life brings.
_ _ _ In the mirror [F] I saw [Bb] him.
I closely watched him.
I thought how he looked out [F] of place.
_ He _
[Cm] _ came to the woman.
[F] Sat there beside her.
[Cm] He had a [F] strange look [Bb] on his face. _ _
Now his big hands were calloused.
[Cm]
[Bb] He looked like a mountain.
_ For a minute I [Fm] thought [Bb] I was [Eb] dead. _
_ _ [F] But he started shaking.
_ His big heart was breaking.
He turned to the woman [Bb] and said.
_ _ _ I'm here to find her.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
With four hungry children.
You might as well sing it.
[Cm] We [Bb] will be doing it together. _ _ _
[Eb] I've _ had some bad times.
I've lived through some sad times.
But this time you're [Cm] hurting [Bb] more than me.
_ [F] I'm here to find her.
To be [A] [Bb] with you.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ After he left us.
I ordered more [Dm] whiskey.
[C] I thought how she made [Am] him [G] small.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ We [G] rented homes.
_ [Dm] We walked [G] without [B] _ [C] talking at all. _ _
Now she _ was a beauty.
But when she came to me.
She must have thought I'd lost [F] my mind. _ _
_ [G] Because I couldn't hold her.
The words that he told.
Keep coming back time after [C] time. _
_ _ I'm here to find her.
To be _ [F] with you. _ _ _ _
With four hungry _ children. _
You might as well sing it.
[C] I expected a lot more from [G] this girl.
_ [F] _ _ I've had some bad times.
I've lived through some sad times.
But this time you're hurting [C] more _ _ _ [G] than me.
I'm here to find her.
To be with you.
[C] I'm _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Db] here to find her.
To be with you.
[Abm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ With four hungry _ children.
_ [Db] _ You _ might as well _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ sing it.
I expected _ a lot more from this girl.
[Abm] I've had [Db] some bad times.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ I've lived through _ _ _ _ _ [Db] some sad times.
But this time you're hurting more than me.
You need to find time to be with me.
[Gb] With four hungry children.
Sing it out.
_ Four hungry children. _
[Db] _ _ _ I've had some [F] bad times.
[Gb] I've had some bad times.
But this time you're hurting more than me.
This time we're eating oatmeal.
This time you're _ [Ebm] _ [Db] hurting more than me.
Get the screw out of there.
[Ebm] You're [Ab] paying too much.
_ [C] To be with [Db] me.
Let's finish.
I want to hear everybody.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ I'm here to be _ with you.
[Db] I'm here to be with you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
