[Bb]
On [Eb] top of Old Smoke, in [Bb]
a bar in Toledo, across from the Depot, on a bar stool she [F] took out
her drink, [Cm] thought I'd close her, [F] so I walked up, [Cm] I sat [F] down [Bb] and asked for her name.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said I'm no quitter, but I finally quit living [Eb] on dreams.
[F] I'm hungry for laughter, and here to have her after, I'm after whatever the other [Bb] life brings.
In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him, I thought how he looked [F] out of place.
[Cm] He came to the woman, [F]
sat there beside her, [Cm] he had [F] a strange look [Bb] on his face.
Now his big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain, for a minute [Eb] thought I was dead.
[F] But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking, and he turned to the [Bb] woman and said
You picked a fine time to leave [Eb] me Lucy, this horror of children and [Bb] a drop in the bean.
[Eb] I've had some bad times, and I've had some good times, but this time your [Bb] hurt won't heal.
[F] You picked a fine time to [Bb] leave me Lucy, [C] but this time your hurt won't heal.
And for God's sake quit swinging, can you not tell you're doing that?
I started the song and everybody in here kind of gradually
You look like a room full of Ray Charles.
You got the right one baby!
After he left us, I ordered more, thought how she made him [G] look small.
[Dm] From the lights of the bar, [G] to a rented hotel [Dm] room, we walked [G] without [C] talking at all.
Now she was a beauty, but when she came to me, she must have thought I'd [F] lost my mind.
[G] Cause I couldn't hold her, the words that he told her, kept coming back time [C] after time.
You're gonna sing it, sing it.
You picked a fine time to leave [F] me Lucy, with four hungry children, much better, with four hungry children,
Wait, wait, wait, it's not your
and a [C] drop in the bean.
I've had some bad times.
[F] I'm restless.
Liver's in ted time.
This time your hurt won't heal.
This time your [C] hurt won't heal.
Everybody in the top, really loud, you picked a fine [G] time.
You picked a fine time
[C] One last time, everybody all together now.
[G] You picked a fine time to leave [C] me Lucy.
