D
Living on the road, my friend,
A
Is gonna keep you free & clean,
G G6
But now you wear your skin like iron,
D A
And your breath’s as hard as kerosene,
G
You weren't your mama's only boy,
D A G
But her favorite one, it seems,
Bm G F#m* A Asus4
She began to cry when you said goodbye...
G Bm C#m
And sank into your dreams,
D
Pancho was a bandit, boys,
A
His horse was fast as polished steel,
G
He wore his gun outside his pants,
D A
For all the honest world to feel,
G
Pancho met his match, you know,
D A G
on the deserts down in Mexico,
Bm G F#m* A Asus4
And nobody heard his dying words....
G Bm A
Ah, but that's the way it goes,
Chorus:
G D A G
And all the Federales say, they could have had him any day,
Bm G F#m* A
They only let him slip away...
G Bm
out of kindness, I suppose,
D
Lefty, he can't sing the blues,
A
All night long like he used to,
G
The dust that Pancho bit down south,
D A
Ended up in Lefty's mouth,
G D A G
The day they laid poor Pancho low, lefty split for Ohio,
Bm G F#m* A Asus4
Where he got the bread to go......
G Bm A
Ain’t nobody knows,
Chorus
G D A G
And all the Federales say, they could have had him any day,
Bm G F#m* A Asus4/E
We only let him slip away..........
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose,
Solo: G D G D G Bm A G Bm G Bm C#m
D
Well the poets tell how Pancho fell,
A
And Lefty's living in a cheap hotel,
G
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
D A
And so the story ends we're told,
G
Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
D A G
But save a few for Lefty too,
Bm G F#m* A Asus4
He only did what he had to do.....
G Bm A
And now he's growing old,
G D A G
And the Federales say, they could have had him any day,
Bm G F#m* A
They only let him go so long...
G Bm A
Out of kindness, I suppose,
G D A G
A few grey Federales say, they could have had him any day,
Bm G F#m* A
They only let him go so long...
G Bm G6 D
Out of kindness, I suppose.
