Lucille - Kenny Rogers | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
A#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     A#
In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
                                    F7
On a bar stool she took off her ring
  Cm
I thought I'd get closer
   F7
So I walked on over
  Cm           F7            A#
I sat down and asked her name
         A#
When the drinks finally hit her
She said I'm no quitter
                   A#7       D#
But I finally quit living on dreams
    F7
I'm hungry for laughter
And here ever after
                                  A#
I'm after whatever the other life brings
       A#
In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
                                  F7
I thought how he looked out of place
   Cm
He came to the woman
    F7
Who sat there beside me
   Cm            F7              A#
He had a strange look on his face
    A#
The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
                      A#7     D#
For a minute I thought  I was dead
    F7
But he started shaking
His big heart was breaking
                           A#
He turned to the woman and said
                                      D#
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
With four hungry children
                  A#
And a crop in the field
D#
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                                   A#
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             F7                       A#   C
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C
After he left us
I ordered more whiskey
                            Csus2 C    G7
I thought how she'd made him      look small
         Dm
From the lights of the bar room
     G7
To a rented hotel room
   Dm             G7         C
We walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
                  Csus2
But when she came to   me
                               C7     F
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
G
I couldn't hold her
         G7
'Cuz the words that he told her
                      G6 G7     C
Kept coming back time after time
                                      F
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
With four hungry children
           Fsus2 F   C
And a crop in    the field
C7 F
   I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                        Fsus2      C
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             G7                       C
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
                                      F
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

[Outro]
---------------------
With four hungry children
           Fsus2 F   C    C7
And a crop in    the field

[Fade Out]
---------------------
F
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
                        Fsus2      C
But this time you're hurting won't heal
             G7                       C
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
