[Verse 1]
[D]Living on the road my friend
[A]Was gonna keep you free and clean
[G]Now you wear your skin like iron
Your [D]breath's as hard as ker[A]osene
[G]You weren't your mama's only boy
But her fa[D]vorite one it seem[G]s
She began [Bm]to cry when you
said good[A]bye
And [G]sank into [Bm]her dreams
[D]Pancho was a bandit boys
His [A]horse was fast as polished steel
[G]Wore his gun outside his pants
For [D]all the honest world [A]to feel
[G]Pancho met his match you know
On the [D]deserts down in [G]Mexico
[Bm]Nobody heard his dying words[A]
[G]That's the way [Bm]it goes

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
[G]All the federales say
[D]They could have had [G]him any day
[Bm]They just let him hang a- ro[A]und
Out of [G]kindness I sup[Bm]pose

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
[D]Lefty he can't sing the blues
[A]All night long like he used to
The [G]dust that Pancho bit down south
[D]Ended up [A]in Lefty's mouth
The [G]day they laid poor Pancho low
[D]Lefty split for [G]Ohio
[Bm]Where he got the bread to go[A]
There [G]ain't nobody [Bm]knows
[G]All the

[Verse 4]
federales say
[D]They could have had [G]him any day
[Bm]They just let him hang [A]a- round
Out of [G]kindness I sup[Bm]pose

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][D]
[G][Bm][G][A][G][Bm]
[D]The poets

[Verse 5]
tell how Pancho fell
[A]Lefty's livin' in a cheap motel
The deser[G]t's quiet and
Cleveland's cold
So [D]the story [A]ends we're told
[G]Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
But [D]save a few [G]for Lefty too
He [Bm]just did what he had [A]to do
[G]Now he's growing [Bm]old

[Verse 6]
[G]All the federales say
[D]They could have had him [G]any day
[Bm]They just let him hang a- ro[A]und
Out of [G]kindness [Bm]I suppose
A [G]few gray federales say
[D]They could have had him [G]any day
[Bm]They just let him slip a- wa[A]y
Out of kind[G]ness I sup[Bm]pose
