but you should be able to figure it out.

(Verse 1)
Chord diagramD MajorD
Livin' on the road, my friend
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Was gonna keep us free and clean
Chord diagramG+G
But now you wear your skin like iron
Chord diagramD MajorD                              Chord diagramA augmentedA
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
Chord diagramG+G
You weren't your mama's only boy
Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramG+G
But her favorite one, it seems
Chord diagramB minorBm                               Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA
She began to cry when you said good bye
Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramB minorBm
And sank into your dreams
(Verse 2)
Chord diagramD MajorD
Pancho was a bandit, boys
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Rode a horse fast as polished steel
Chord diagramG+G
Wore his guns outside his pants
Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
For all the honest world to feel
Chord diagramG+G
Pancho met his match, you know
Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramG+G
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
(Chorus)
Chord diagramG+G
And all the federales 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 him slip away
       Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramB minorBm
Out of kindness, I suppose
(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
(Chorus)
(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 diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA
He only did what he had to do
Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramB minorBm
And now he's growin' old
(Chorus)
(Final Chorus)
Chord diagramD MajorD
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 him go so wrong
       Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramB minorBm
Out of kindness, I suppose
