Livin' on the road, my friend

Was gonna keep us free and clean
Chord diagramG+G
But now you wear your skin like iron

She began to cry When you said good bye

And sank into your dreams
Climb:

Verse 2:

Chord diagramD MajorD
Pancho was a bandit, boys

Rode a horse fast as polished steel
Chord diagramG+G
Wore his guns outside his pants

For all the honest world to feel
Chord diagramG+G
Pancho met his match, you know

On the deserts down in Mexico
Chord diagramB minorBm                Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramA augmentedA
No one heard his dyin' words
Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramB minorBm
But that's the way it goes
Instrumental:

Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA


Chorus:

Chord diagramG+G
And all the federales say
Chord diagramD MajorD
They could have had him any day
Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramB minorBm   Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA
They only let him slip a-way
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramB minorBm
Out of kindness, I suppose

Chord diagramA augmentedA


Verse 3:

Chord diagramD MajorD
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues
Chord diagramA augmentedA
All night long like he used to
Chord diagramG+G
The dust that Pancho bit down South
Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramA augmentedA
It ended up in Lefty's mouth
Chord diagramG+G
The day they laid old Pancho low
Chord diagramD MajorD               Chord diagramG+G
Lefty split for Ohio
Chord diagramB minorBm                     Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Where he got the bread to go
Chord diagramG+G                             Chord diagramB minorBm
Well there ain't nobody 'knows

Chord diagramG+G
But all the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip a-way
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramB minorBm
Out of kindness, I suppose


Verse 4:

Chord diagramD MajorD
Now poets sing how Pancho fell
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
Chord diagramG+G
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
Chord diagramD MajorD                Chord diagramA augmentedA
And so the story ends, we're told
Chord diagramG+G
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramG+G
But save a few for Lefty, too
Chord diagramB minorBm                  Chord diagramB minorBm  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramA augmentedA
He only did what he had to do
Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramB minorBm Chord diagramA augmentedA
And now he's growin' old


Chorus:

Chord diagramG+G
But all the federales say

They could have had him any day
Chord diagramB minorBm                     Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA
They only let him slip a-way
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramB minorBm
Out of kindness, I suppose

Chord diagramG+G
Yes a few old gray federales still say
Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G
They could have had him any day
Chord diagramB minorBm                     Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramA augmentedA
They only let go so wrong
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramB minorBm
