Verse 2
Pancho (C major) was a bandit boy
(G major) His horse was fast as polished steel
(F major) Wore his gun outside his pants
For all (C major) the honest (G major) world to feel (F major)
Pancho met his match you know
On (C major) the deserts down in (F major) Mexico
(A minor) Nobody heard his dy (F major) ing words
(G major) Ah (G minor) but (F major) that's the way it (A minor) goes
(F major) All the Federales
Verse 3
say
(C major) They could have had (F major) him any day
(A minor) They only let him (F major) hang around (G major)
Out of kind (F major) ness, I suppose (A minor) (C major)
Verse 4
Lefty, he can't sing (C major) the blues
(G major) All night long like he used to
(G minor) The (F major) dust that Pancho bit down south
(C major) Ended up (G major) in Lefty's mouth
(F major) The day they laid poor Pancho low
(C major) Lefty split for (F major) Ohio
(A minor) Where he got the bread (F major) to go (G major) (G minor) (G major)
There (F major) ain't nobody (A minor) knows
(F major)
Verse 5
All the Federales say
(C major) They could have had (F major) him any day
(A minor) They only let him slip (F major) away

Verse 6
Now the poets tell how (C major)
Pancho fell (G major)
And Lefty's living in cheap hotel
(F major) The desert's quiet,
Cleveland's cold
(C major) And so the story (G major) ends we're told (F major)
Pancho needs your prayers it's true
(C major) But save a few for (F major) Lefty too
(A minor) He just did what he had (F major) to do (G major)
And (A minor) now (F major) he's growing (A minor) old
(F major)
Verse 7
And a few great Federales say
(C major) They could have had him (F major) any day
(A minor) They only let him (F major) go so wrong
(G major) (G minor) (G major)
Out of kind (F major) ness, I sup (A minor) pose
Verse 8
A (F major) few great Federales say
(C major) They could have had him (F major) any day
(A minor) They only let him (F major) go
so wrong (G major)
(A minor) Out of kindness, (F major) I sup (A minor) pose
