[Verse 1]
[D]Living on the road my friend
[A]Was gonna keep you free and clean
[G]And now you wear your skin like iron
[D]And your breath as hard as ker[A]osene
[G]Weren't your mama's only boy
But her [D]favorite one it [G]seems
[Bm]She began to cry
[G]when you [A]said goodbye
[G]And sank into your dre[Bm]ams[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Pancho was a bandit boy
[A]His horse was fast as polished steel
[G]He wore his gun outside his pants
[D]For all the honest wor[A]ld to feel
[G]Pancho met his match you know
On the [D]deserts down in [G]Mexico
[Bm]Nobody heard his dy in[G]g word[A]s
[G]Ah but that's the way it goe[Bm]s[A]

[Chorus 1]
[G]All the Federales say
[D]They could have had him any[G] day
[Bm]They only let him slip[G] a- way[A]
Out of [G]kindness, I su[Bm]ppose[A]

[Verse 3]
[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]Ended up in Lef[A]ty's mouth
[G]The day they laid poor Pancho low
[D]Lefty split for Ohi[G]o
[Bm]Where he got the bread[G] to go[A]
[G]There ain't nobody kno[Bm]ws[A]

[Chorus 2]
[G]All the Federales say
[D]They could have had him any[G] day
[Bm]They only let him slip[G] a- wa[D]y[A]
Out of [G]kindness, I su[Bm]ppose[A][G][D][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]The poets tell how Pancho fell
[A]And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
[G]The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
[D]And so the story end[A]s we're told
[G]Pancho needs your prayers it's true
[D]But save a few for Lef[G]ty too
[Bm]He only did what he had [G]to do[A]
[G]And now he's growing old[Bm][A]

[Chorus 3]
[G](All the Federales say)
[D](They could have had him any[G] day)
[Bm]They only let him go s[G]o long[A]
Out of [G]kindness, I su[Bm]ppose[A]

[Chorus 4]
[G]A few gray Federales say
[D]We could have had him
[G]any day
[Bm]We only let him go s[G]o long[A]
Out of [G]kindness, I su[Bm]ppose
[G][A][D]
