Verse 1:
D MajorD              A augmentedA
Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean
G+G
Now you wear your skin like iron,
   D MajorD         A augmentedA
Your breath as hard as kerosene.
G+G                     D MajorD        G+G
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems
B minorBm            G+G    A augmentedA
She began to cry when you said goodbye,

And sank into your dreams.

Verse 2:
D MajorD            A augmentedA
Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was fast as polished steel

He wore his gun outside his pants
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
For all the honest world to feel.
G+G                  D MajorD        G+G
Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico
B minorBm        G+G   A augmentedA       G+G         B minorBm  B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes.

All the Federales say they could have had him any day
B minorBm         G+G   A augmentedA    G+G       B minorBm    B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.

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

All the Federales say they could have had him any day

They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.

Verse 4:
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
The boys tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's living in cheap hotels

The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold,
D MajorD        A augmentedA
And so the story ends we're told
G+G                    D MajorD       G+G
Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
B minorBm          G+G   A augmentedA    G+G        B minorBm   B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old

They only let him go so long out of kindness, I suppose.
