D                A
...Living on the road my friend... was gonna keep you free and clean
G                D              A
Now you wear your skin like iron, and your breath as hard as kerosene
G                     D        G
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems
Bm         G   D   A    G          Bm  A
She began to cry when you said goodbye... and sank into your dreams

Verse 2:
D             A
Pancho was a bandit, boys... his horse was fast as polished steel
G                 D            A
He wore his gun outside his pants... for all the honest world to feel.
G                   D        G
Pancho met his match you know, on the deserts down in Mexico
Bm        G  D  A   G              Bm  A
Nobody heard his dy...ing words... ah, but that's the way it goes.

Chorus 1:
G           D             G
All the Federales say... they could have had him any day
Bm         G  D  A     G      Bm  A
They only let him slip a...way out of kindness, I suppose.
?

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

Chorus 2:
G           D            G
All the Federales say... they could have had him any day
Bm        G  D  A     G      Bm  A
They only let him slip a... way out of kindness, I suppose

Solo:
G  D  G  Bm  D  A  G  Bm  A

Verse 4:
D             A
Poets tell how Pancho fell... and Lefty's living in cheap hotels
G                  D         A
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold, and so the story ends we're told
G                  D           G
Pancho needs your prayers it's true... but save a few for Lefty too
Bm         G  D A  G           Bm  A
He only did what he had to do... and now he's growing old

Chorus 3:
G           D             G
All the Federales say... they could have had him any day
Bm        G D A      G      Bm  A
They only let him go so long out of kindness, I suppose

Chorus 4:
G            D             G
A few gray Federales say... they could have had him any day
Bm        G D A      G      Bm  A
They only let him go so long out of kindness, I suppose.

Outro:
G  Bm  G  D  A
