Pancho & Lefty Ukulele tab

	  I think this is pretty close to Townes'   
version as opposed to Willie Nelson's   
arrangement which is quite nice and different   
than this.  I like to capo on 1 but   
it's not necessary.  I suck at guitar   
playing so feel free to add or correct   
anything here.  
  
  
  
C                              G  
Livin' on the road my friend is gonna keep you free and clean  
F                                      C                  
Now you wear your skin like iron, your breath's hard as   
G  
kerosene  
F                                 C                  F  
You weren't your momma's only boy, but her favorite one it seems  
Am                      Dm                F               
Began to cry when you said, "good-bye", sank into your   
Am  
dreams.  
  
  
  
Poncho was a bandit boys, his horse was fast as polished steel  
He wore his gun outside his pants for all the honest world to feel  
Poncho met his match, ya know, on the desert down in Mexico  
No one heard his dyin' words, but that's the way it goes.   
  
  
F                      C                     F        
All the Federales say, they could'a had him any day  
Am                 Dm                 F             Am        
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose.  
  
  
Lefty he can't sing the blues, anymore like he used to   
The dust that Poncho bit down south, ended up in Lefty's mouth  
The day they laid poor Poncho low, Lefty split for O-hio  
Where he got the bread to go, ain't nobody knows.  
  
  
Chorus:  (slip away)  
  
  
The poets tell how Poncho fell, Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel  
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold and so the story ends, we're told  
Poncho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too  
He only did what he had to do but now he's growin' old.  
  
  
Chorus:  (slip away)  
Chorus:  (go so wrong)
