Verse 1
(D major) Living on the road my friend
(A major) Was gonna keep you free and clean
(G major) And now you wear your skin like iron
(D major) And your breath as hard as (A major) kerosene
(G major) Weren't your mama's only boy
But her (D major) favorite one it seems (G major)
(B minor) She began to cry
(G major) when you said (D/F#) (A major) goodbye (Asus4)
(G major) And sank into your (B minor) dreams (A/C#)

Verse 2
(D major) Pancho was a bandit boy
(A major) His horse was fast as polished steel
(G major) He wore his gun outside his pants
(D major) For all the honest world (A major) to feel
(G major) Pancho met his match you know
On the (D major) deserts down in Mexico (G major)
(B minor) Nobody heard his (G major) dy (D/F#) ing (A major) words
(G major) Ah but that's the way it (B minor) goes (A major)
Chorus 1
(G major) All the Federales say
(D major) They could have had him any (G major) day
(B minor) They only let him slip (G major) a- (D/F#) (A major) way
Out of (G major) kindness, I su (B minor) ppose (A major)
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 Ohio (G major)
(B minor) Where he got the bread (G major) to (D/F#) (A major) go
(G major) There ain't nobody knows (B minor) (A major)
Chorus 2
(G major) All the Federales say
(D major) They could have had him any (G major) day
(B minor) They only let him slip (G major) a- (D major) (A major) way
Out of (G major) kindness, I su (B minor) ppose (A major) (G major)

Verse 4
(D major) The poets tell how Pancho fell
(A major) And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
(G major) The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
(D major) And so the story ends (A major) we're told
(G major) Pancho needs your prayers it's true
(D major) But save a few for (G major) Lefty too
(B minor) He only did what he (G major) had (D/F#) to (A major) do
(G major) And now he's growing (B minor) old (A major)
Chorus 3
(G major) (All the Federales say)
(D major) (They could have had him any (G major) day)
(B minor) They only let him go (G major) so (D/F#) (A major) long
Out of (G major) kindness, I su (B minor) ppose (A major)
Chorus 4
(G major) A few gray Federales say
(D major) We could have had him
any (G major) day
(B minor) We only let him go (G major) so (D/F#) (A major) long
Out of (G major) kindness, I su (B minor) ppose
(G major) (A major) (D major)
