[VERSE]
C Living on the road my friend G Was gonna keep you free and clean F When you wear your skin like iron C G Your breath's as hard as kerosene F You weren't your mama's only boy C F But her favorite one it seems Am F Am7 G She began to cry when you said goodbye F Am And sank into her dreams C Pancho was a bandit boy G His horse was fast as polished steel F Wore his gun outside his pants C G For all the honest world to feel F Pancho met his match you know C F On the deserts down in Mexico Am F Am7 G Nobody heard his dying words F Am That's the way it goes
[CHORUS]
F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am F Am7 G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose
[VERSE]
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 G Ended up in Lefty's mouth F The day they laid poor Pancho low C F Lefty split for Ohio Am F Am7 G Where he got the bread to go F Am There ain't nobody knows
[CHORUS]
F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am F Am7 G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose

[VERSE]
C The poets tell how Pancho fell G Lefty's livin' in a cheap motel F The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold C G So the story ends we're told F Pancho needs your prayers it's true, C F But save a few for Lefty too Am F Am7 G He just did what he had to do F Am Now he's growing old
[CHORUS]
F All the federales say C F They could have had him any day Am F Am7 G They just let him hang a---round F Am Out of kindness I suppose F A few gray federales say C F They could have had him any day Am F Am7 G They just let him slip a----way F Am Out of kindness I suppose
