(D major) (D major)
(D major) (A major) (G major) (B minor)
Verse 1
(D major) Living on the road my friend
(A major) Is gonna keep you free and clean
(G major) Now you wear your skin like iron
And your (D major) breath's as hard as ke (A major) rosene
(G major) You weren't your mama's only boy
But her (D major) favorite one it seems (G major)
She began (B minor) to cry when you said (G major) good (A major) bye
(G major) And sank into your dreams (B minor)

Verse 2
(D major) Pancho was a bandit boys
(A major) His horse was fast as polished steel
(G major) He wore his gun
For (D major) all the honest world (A major) to feel
(G major) Pancho met his match you know
On the (D major) deserts down in (G major) Mexico
And (B minor) nobody heard his dying (G major) words (A major)
(G major) But that's the way it goes (B minor)
Chorus 1
(G major) And all the Federales say
(D major) They could have had him (G major) any day
(B minor) They only let him (G major) hang a (A major) round
Out of kind (G major) ness I suppose (B minor)
Verse 3
(D major) Lefty, he can't sing the blues
(A major) All night long like he used to
(G major) The dust that Pancho bit down south
(D major) Ended up in Lefty's (A major) mouth
(G major) The day they laid poor Pancho low
(D major) Lefty split for O (G major) hio
(B minor) Where he got the bread (G major) to go (A major)
There (G major) ain't nobody knows (B minor)
Chorus 2
(G major) And all the Federales say
(D major) They could have had him (G major) any day
(B minor) They only let him (G major) slip a (A major) way
Out of kind (G major) ness I suppose (B minor)

Verse 4
(D major) Well the poets tell how Pancho fell
(A major) And Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
(G major) The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
(D major) And so the story ends (A major) we're told
(G major) Pancho needs your prayers it's true
But (D major) save a few for (G major) Lefty too
(B minor) He just did what he had (G major) to do (A major)
Oh, and (G major) now he's growing old (B minor)
Chorus 3
(G major) And a few grey Federales say
(D major) They could have had him (G major) any day
(B minor) They only let him (G major) go so wrong (A major)
Out of kind (G major) ness I suppose (B minor)
Chorus 4
(G major) A few grey Federales say
(D major) They could have had him (G major) any day
