G
D
Livin'
G
A
G
A
D
G
on the road,
my friend,
D
A
G
D
was gonna keep you free and clean
Bm
D
G
Now you wear your skin like iron
D
G
and your breath's as hard as kerosene
A
G
You weren't your mama's only boy,
D
G
but her favorite one it seems
Bm
D
She began to cry when you said goodbye
A
G
Bm
And sank into your dreams
G
D

A
G
D
Pancho was
G
D
a band of boys,
A
D
his horse was fast, his polish steam,
Bm
G
Or has gone outside his pants
D
G
A
For all the honest world to feed
G
Pancho made as much as he
D
G
In the desert down in Mexico
Bm
Oh, nobody heard
G
A
his dying words,
Bm
D
G
that's the way it goes.
The federal AC,
D
G
they could have had him any day.
Bm
D
Only let them hang around
A
G
Out of kindness,
Bm
G
D
A
D
G
D
A
I suppose
D
G
Lefty he can't sing the blues
D
A
all night long
G
D
Like he used to do
Bm
G
The dust that Pancho put down south
D
G
A
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
G
The day that Link purred Pancho low
D
G
Lefty split for Ohio
Bm
G
A
An d where he got the bread to go,
Bm
G
well, nobody knows
And the federal police
D
ain't a crew
G
to hide him any day
Bm
G
And only let them slip away
A
G
Bm
D
G
Out of kindness, I suppose
D
A
D
G
D
The ports tell how Poncho fell
A
D
Lefties living in a cheap hotel
Bm
D
G
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
D
G
A
G
so the story ends we're told.
Pancho needs your prayers,
it's true,
D
G
but save a few for a lefty too.
Bm
G
He just did what he had to do,
A
G
Bm
and now he's growin' old
G
And a few green Federalis
A
D
G
said they could hide him any day
Bm
G
And only let them go so wrong
A
G
Out of kindness, I suppose
A
The Federal is saying
D
G
they could hide him any day
Bm
G
I'd only let him slip away
A
G
Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
