INTRO: C 


VERSE 
C 
  Living on the road my friend 
G 
  Was gonna keep you free and clean 
F 
  Now you wear your skin like iron 
         C                 G 
  Your breath's as hard as kerosene 
 F 
  You weren't your mama's only boy 
          C                F 
  But her favorite one it seems 
         Am                   C  C/B  G 
  She began to cry when you said goodbye 
       F             Am 
  And sank into her dreams 
 C 
  Pancho was a bandit boys 
      G 
  His horse was fast as polished steel 
  F 
  Wore his gun outside his pants 
      C              G 
  For all the honest world to feel 
 F 
  Pancho met his match you know 
         C               F 
  On the deserts down in Mexico 
Am                 C C/B G 
  Nobody heard his dying words 
  F                 Am 
  That's the way it goes 


 F 
  All the federales say 
 C                        F 
  They could have had him any day 
Am                  C    C/B G 
  They just let him hang a---round 
         F             Am 
  Out of kindness I suppose 


VERSE 
 C 
  Lefty he can't sing the blues 
  G 
  All night long like he used to 
      F 
  The dust that Pancho bit down south 
  C           G 
  Ended up in Lefty's mouth 
      F 
  The day they laid poor Pancho low 
  C               F 
  Lefty split for Ohio 
Am                 C     C/B  G 
  Where he got the bread to   go 
        F            Am 
  There ain't nobody knows 

 
 F 
  All the federales say 
 C                        F 
  They could have had him any day 
Am                  C    C/B G 
  They just let him hang a---round 
         F             Am 
  Out of kindness I suppose

VERSE 
C 
  The poets tell how Pancho fell 
  G 
  Lefty's livin' in a cheap motel 
      F 
  The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold 
  C             G 
  So the story ends we're told 
  F 
  Pancho needs your prayers it's true, 
      C              F 
  But save a few for Lefty too 
 Am                   C  C/B G 
  He just did what he had to do 
  F                Am 
  Now he's growing old 

 
 F 
  All the federales say 
 C                        F 
  They could have had him any day 
Am                  C    C/B G 
  They just let him hang a---round 
         F             Am 
  Out of kindness I suppose 
    F 
  A few gray federales say 
 C                        F 
  They could have had him any day 
 Am                 C    C/B  G 
  They just let him slip a----way 
         F             Am 
  Out of kindness I suppose
