[INTRO]

[VERSE]
C majorC
 Living on the road my friend
G+G
 Was gonna keep you free and clean
FF
 Now you wear your skin like iron
     C majorC         G+G
 Your breath's as hard as kerosene
 FF
 You weren't your mama's only boy
     C majorC        FF
 But her favorite one it seems
     A minorAm          C majorC C/BC/B G+G
 She began to cry when you said goodbye
    FF       A minorAm
 And sank into her dreams
 C majorC
 Pancho was a bandit boys
   G+G
 His horse was fast as polished steel
 FF
 Wore his gun outside his pants
   C majorC       G+G
 For all the honest world to feel
 FF
 Pancho met his match you know
     C majorC        FF
 On the deserts down in Mexico
A minorAm         C majorC C/BC/B G+G
 Nobody heard his dying words
 FF         A minorAm
 That's the way it goes

 All the federales say
 C majorC            FF
 They could have had him any day
A minorAm         C majorC  C/BC/B G+G
 They just let him hang a---round
     FF       A minorAm
 Out of kindness I suppose


[VERSE]
 C majorC
 Lefty he can't sing the blues
 G+G
 All night long like he used to
   FF
 The dust that Pancho bit down south
 C majorC      G+G
 Ended up in Lefty's mouth
   FF
 The day they laid poor Pancho low
 C majorC        FF
 Lefty split for Ohio
A minorAm         C majorC   C/BC/B G+G
 Where he got the bread to  go
    FF      A minorAm
 There ain't nobody knows

 All the federales say
 C majorC            FF
 They could have had him any day

 Out of kindness I suppose

C majorC
 The poets tell how Pancho fell
 G+G
 Lefty's livin' in a cheap motel
   FF
 The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
 C majorC       G+G
 So the story ends we're told
 FF
 Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
   C majorC       FF
 But save a few for Lefty too
 A minorAm          C majorC C/BC/B G+G

 Now he's growing old

 Out of kindness I suppose

 Out of kindness I suppose
