Verse 1
They've (C major) been on the road, my friend
(G major) It's gonna set you free in the end
Now (F major) you wear your skin like (C major) iron
And your breath is hot as (G major) polystyrene
You (F major) weren't your
mama's only (Csus4) (F major) boy
But (C major) her favorite one it seems (F major)
She began (A minor) to cry when you (F major) said (G major) goodbye
And you sank (F major) into her dream (A minor) (G major)
(C major) Pancho was a bandit bull,
his (G major) horse as fast as potty steel
He (F major) wore his gun outside his fence
for (C major) all the honest world (G major) to feel
Pan (F major) cho met his match, you know,
in the (C major) desert down in (F major) Mexico
Nobody (A minor) heard his dying (F major) words, (G major)
out of kind (F major) ness
I sup (A minor) pose (F major) (C major) (F major)
He only (A minor) let him slip (F major) (G major) away
Out of Tidelos, (F major) I sup (A minor) pose
(G major) One (C major) day he can sing the blues
All (G major) night long, like he used to do
The dust (F major) that poncho bit down south
It (C major) ended up and left (G major) his mouth
The (F major) day the elite pulled poncho low
Left (C major) his split for (F major) Ohio
(A minor) Where he got the bread to (G major) go
The (F major) rain nobody knows (A minor)
All (F major) the federales say
Could (C major) have had him by (F major) the day
He (A minor) only let him (F major) slip (G major) away
Out of kind (F major) ness, I sup (A minor) pose (G major) (C major) (G major)
(F major) (C major) (G major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) (A minor)
(G major)
(C major) Poets tell how Poncho fell
(G major) Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
(F major) The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so (C major) the story (G major) ends, we're told
(F major) Poncho needs your prayers, it's true
But (C major) save a few for (F major) Lefty, too
He (A minor) only did what he had (G major) to do,
and now (F major) he's going home. (A minor)
A (F major) few great fellow Raleigh's saved,
(C major) never had him (F major) any day.
(A minor) They only let him slip (F major) away, (G major)
out of nine (F major) good -byes to (A minor) go.
Oh, (F major) if you'd Ben Raleigh stay,
(C major) you could've had him (F major) any day
You (A minor) only let him (F major) go so (G major) long,
oh,
but that's (F major) the way it (A minor) goes
(G major)
