pancho and lefty  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
[C]Your breath as hard as [G]kerosene
[F]Weren't your mama's only boy
But her [C]favorite one it [F]seems
She [Am]began to cry when you [F]said [C]goodb[G]ye
And [F]sank into your [Am]dreams[G]
[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
[Am]Nobody heard his [F]dyi[C]ng [G]words ah but [F]that's the way it [Am]goes[G]
[F]All the Federales say [C]they could have had him [F]any day
[Am]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness I sup[Am]pose[G]
[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
[Am]Where he got the [F]bread [C]to [G]go there [F]ain't nobody [Am]know[G]s
[F]All the Federales say  [C]could have had him [F]any day
[Am]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness I [Am]suppos[G]e
SOLO
[C]Poets tell how Pancho fell and [G]Lefty'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
[Am]He only did what he [F]had [C]to [G]do  and [F]now he's growing [Am]old[G]
[F]All the Federales say [C]could have had him [F]any day
[Am]We only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness I supp[Am]ose[G]
[F]A few gray Federales say  [C]could have had him [F]any day
[Am]We only only let him [F]go [C]so [G]long out of of [F]kindness I supp[Am]ose
