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

F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am C C/B G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose
VERSE C Lefty he can't sing the blues G All night long like he used to F The dust that Pancho bit down south C G Ended up in Lefty's mouth F The day they laid poor Pancho low C F Lefty split for Ohio Am C C/B G Where he got the bread to go F Am There ain't nobody knows
F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am C C/B G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose
Instrumental F C F Am C C/B G F Am VERSE C The poets tell how Pancho fell G Lefty's livin' in a cheap motel F The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold C G So the story ends we're told F Pancho needs your prayers it's true, C F But save a few for Lefty too Am C C/B G He just did what he had to do F Am Now he's growing old
F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am C C/B G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose F A few gray federales say C F They could have had him any day Am C C/B G They just let him slip a----way F Am Out of kindness I suppose
END Am
