Pancho And Lefty2  Emmylou Harris



[C]Living on the road my friend,[G] is gonna keep you free and clean,
[F]Now you wear your skin like iron,
Your [C]breath as hard as [G]kerosene,
[F]You weren't your mama's only boy, but her [C]favorite one it [F]seems,
[C]She began to cry when you [F]said [C]goodb[G]ye,
And [F]sank into your [Am]dreams[G],[-] [C]
(verse 2)
[C]Pancho was a bandit boys[G], his horse was fast as polished steel,
[F]He wore his gun outside his pants,
For [C]all the honest world to [G]feel,
[F]Pancho met his match you know on the [C]deserts down in [F]Mexico,
[C]Nobody heard his [F]dyi[C]ng [G]words, ah but [F]that's the way it [Am]goes,[G] [-] [F]
(chorus)
[F]All the Federales say[C] they could have had him [F]any day,
[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pos[-]e,[G] [-] [F]
(verse 3)
[C]Lefty, he can't sing the blues [G]all night long like he used to,
[F]The dust that Pancho bit down south [C]ended up in [G]Lefty's mouth,
[F]The day they laid poor Pancho low, [C]Lefty split for [F]Ohio,
[C]Where he got the [F]bread [C]to g[G]o, there [F]ain't nobody k[Am]now[-]s,[G] [-] [F]
(chorus)
[F]All the Federales say[C] they could have had him [F]any day,
[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pose,[G] [-] [C]
(verse 4)
[C]Poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lef[G]ty's living in a cheap hotel,
[F]The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
[C]And so the story [G]ends we're told,
[F]Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but [C]save a few for [F]Lefty too,
[C]He only did what he [F]had [C]to [G]do, and [F]now he's growing [Am]old[-],[G] [-] [F]
Chorus)
[F]All the Federales say [C]they could have had him [F]any day,
[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pos[-]e,[F] [-] [G]
[F]A few gray Federales say [C]they could have had him [F]any day,
[C]They only let him g[F]o s[C]o l[G]ong, out of of [F]kindness, I s[Am]uppose,
