Eb7 | Bb7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Eb7                                  Ab7
   The sound that you're listening to   is from my guitar
       Eb7
That's named Lucille. I'm very crazy 'bout Lucille.
Ab7                                            Eb7
   Lucille took me from the plantation. Oh you might say,
Brought me fame.
Bb7                                 Ab7
   I don't think I could just talk enough about Lucille.
Eb7                  Ab7
   Sometime when I'm blue seem like Lucille try to help
   Eb7          Bb7
Me call my name.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Eb7                                                 Ab7
   I used to sing spirituals and I thought that this   was
                              Eb7                  Ab7
The thing that I wanted to do.   But somehow or other 
When I went in the army I picked up on Lucille,
Eb7
   Started singing the blues.
Bb7     Ab7                            Eb7          Ab7
   Well,   now when I'm paying my dues,   maybe you don't
                                         Eb7
Know what I mean when I say paying dues, I  mean when Things are bad with me.
Bb7

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Eb7                      Ab7
   I can always, I can always,
                              Eb7
Yyou know like, uh, depend on Lucille.
Ab7
   Sort of hard to talk to you myself. I guess I'll let
              Eb7
Lucille say a few words and then.
Bb7 Ab7 Eb7 Ab7            Eb7                                Bb7
               You know, I doubt if you can feel it like I do.

[Verse 4]
---------------------
Eb7                                            Ab7
   But when I think about the things that I've gone through,
                        Eb7
Like, well for instance,   if I have a girlfriend and
               Ab7
She misuses me,   and I go home at night, maybe I'm
                             Eb7
Lonely, well not maybe, I am lonely, I pick up Lucille
Bb7
   And it bring out those funny sounds that sound good to
             Ab7 Eb7 Ab7
Me, you know.        Sometime I get to play so I
           Eb7         Bb7
Can't even say nothing.

[Solo 1]
---------------------
Eb7
   Look out.
Ab7 Eb7
       Sometime I think it's crying.
Ab7 | Eb7 | Bb7 | Ab7 
Eb7 | Ab7 | Eb7 | Bb7 

[Verse 5]
---------------------
Eb7 | Ab7 | Eb7 
                                        Ab7
You know, if I could sing pop tunes like   Frank Sinatra
                                       Eb7
Or Sammy Davis Junior, I don't think I still could do
It, 'cause Lucille don't wanna play nothing but the
      Bb7            Ab7
Blues.   I think I'm,   I think I'm pretty glad about
     Eb7 Ab7                                   Eb7     Bb7
That.       Cause don't nobody sing to me like Lucille.

[Solo 2]
---------------------
      Eb7
Sing, Lucille.
Ab7 Eb7 Ab7 Eb7                                                   Bb7
               Well, I'll put it like this. Take it easy, Lucille.   I
Like the way Sammy sings and I like the way Frank
      Ab7                                     Eb7
Sings,   but I can get a little Frank, Sammy, a  little
                  Ab7
Ray Charles, fact all the people with soul in
This.
Eb7 Bb7 Eb7 Ab7 Eb7
                   A little Mahalia Jackson in there.

[Verse 6]
---------------------
                                       Ab7
You wanna know why I call the guitar Lucille. Lucille
    Eb7
Has practically saved my life two or three times. No
Kidding, really has.
Ab7                                                Eb7
   I remember once I was in an automobile accident,   and
When the car stopped turning over, it fell over on
        Bb7
Lucille,   and it held it up off me, really, it held it
          Ab7 Eb7              Ab7
Up off me.       So that's one time it saved my life.

[Verse 7]
---------------------
Eb7            Bb7                   Eb7                            Ab7
   The way, uh,   the way, uh, I, uh,   came by the name of Lucille,   I was
                                             Eb7
Over in Twist, Arkansas, I know you've never heard of
                                                Ab7
That one, have you, heh, heh, heh? And one night   the guys started a
Ball over there, you know, they started brawling, you
                 Eb7
Know what I mean.   And the guy that was mad with his
         Bb7
Old lady,   when she fell over on this gas tank that was
                 Ab7                         Eb7   Ab7 Eb7 Bb7
Burning for heat,   the gas ran all over the floor.

[Verse 8]
---------------------
Eb7                                  Ab7
   And when the gas ran all over the floor, the building
Eb7
Caught on fire, and almost burned me up trying to save
         Ab7
Lucille. Uh, oh I, uh, I imagine you're still wondering why I
Call it Lucille, the lady that started that brawl that
      Eb7
Night was named Lucille.
Bb7 Ab7                                  Eb7      Ab7 Eb7
