Chords for Waylon Jennings *Lucille*

One, [B] two, three, four. _ _ _
_ _ _ In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
On a bar stool she [F#] took off her ring.
_ I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over,
Sat down and asked [B] her her name.
_ When the drinks finally hit her, she said,
I'm no quitter, but I finally quit [E] living on dreams.
_ _ Hungry for [B] laughter and here ever [F#] after,
I'm after whatever the other [B] life brings. _ _ _ _
_ In the mirror I saw him, I closely watched him,
I saw the look [F#] in his eyes.
_ It came to the woman who sat there beside me,
Slowly [B] started to cry. _
His big hands were calloused, the black mouth.
For a minute I thought [E] I was dead, _
But he started shaking, [B] his big heart was breaking,
[F#] As he turned to the woman [B] and said, _
You picked a fine time to leave me, [E] Lucy, _
With four hungry children and crops in the [B] field.
_ _ [E] I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times,
But this time the [F#m] hurting [B] won't heal.
You picked [F#] a fine time to leave me, [B] Lucy. _ _
_ After he left us, I ordered more whiskey,
She said, let's go [F#] have a ball. _
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room,
We walked without [B] talking at all. _
Thought she was a beauty, but when she came to me,
She must have thought that I'd [E] lost my mind. _
_ I couldn't hold her, [B] cause the words that he [F#] told her,
Came back to me time [B] after time. _
You picked a fine time to leave [E] me, Lucy, _
With four hungry children and a crop in [B] the field.
_ [E] I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times,
But this time the [B] hurting won't heal.
