Lucille
By Kenny Rogers
Tabbed by Raymond Bailey
A E7
In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a bar stool she took off her ring
Bm E7 Bm E7 A
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over, I sat down and asked her name
A A7 D
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter but I fin’lly quit living on dreams
E7 A
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there be side me he had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain for a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking he turned to the woman and said
Chorus:
A D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
A
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
D
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but
A
This time your hurting won't heal
E7 A
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
After he left us I ordered more whiskey I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room, we walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me she must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn’t hold her 'cause the words that he told her kept coming back time after time
Chorus
Repeat Chorus

the first two verses and chorus work with these chords and capo on first fret, but the third verse seems to go up and change notes, maybe I am wrong, but it don't seem to work with starting chords on the third verse -rodeoruck | 4/23/2003 |
