Pancho and lefty2  Willie Nelson


[D]Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you[A] free and clean
[G]Now you wear your skin like iron,
[D]Your breath as hard as kerosene.
[G]You werenât your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it[D] seems
[D]She began to cry when you said good-[A]bye,
A[G]nd sank into your dreams.
[D]Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was fa[A]st as polished steel
[G]He wore his gun outside his pants
[D]For all the honest world to feel.
[G]  [D]Pancho met his match you know on the deserts d[G]own in Mexico
[D]                                   [G] [D] [A] [G]Nobody heard his dying words, ah b[D]ut that's the way it goes.
[G]  [D]All the Federales say they could have had him an[G]y day
[D]They only let him slip away [G]out o[D]f ki[A]ndness, I supp[G]ose.
[D]Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long[A] like he used to.
[G]  [D]The dust that Pancho [A]bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
[G]  [D]The day they laid poor Pan[G]cho low, Lefty split for Ohio
[D]Where he got the bread to go[G], ther[D]e ai[A]n't nobod[G]y knows
[G]  [D]All the Federales say they could have had him a[G]ny day
[D]They only let him slip away [G]out o[D]f k[A]indness, I suppose.
SOLO
[D]The boys tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's livi[A]ng in cheap hotels
[G]The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold,
[D]And so the story ends we're[A] told
[G]  [D]Pancho needs your prayers it's true,[G] but save a few for Lefty too
[D]He only did what he had to do,[G] and[D] no[A]w he's g[G]rowing old
[G]All the Federales say they could h[D]ave had him any day
[D]They only let him go so long[G] out [D]of k[A]indness,[G] I suppose.
[G]A few gray Federales say they could ha[D]ve had him any day
[D]They only let him go so long[G] out [D]of [A]kindness, I sup[G]pose.
