More chords by Steve Earle
C
Livin' on the road, my friend
G
Was gonna keep us free and clean
F
now you wear your skin like iron
C G
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
F
weren't your mama's only boy
C
But her favorite one, it seems
F Am
And sank into your dreams
C
Pancho was a bandit, boys
G
horse fast as polished steel
F
Wore his guns outside his pants
C G
For all the honest world to feel
F
Pancho met his match, you know
C G
On the deserts down in Mexico
F Am
But that's the way it goes
F
And all the federales say
C G
They could have had him any day
F Am
Out of kindness, I suppose
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
It ended up in Lefty's mouth
F
The day they laid poor Pancho low
C G
Lefty split for Ohio
F Am
ahh there ain't nobody 'knows
C
poets tell how Pancho fell
G
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
C G
And so the story ends, we're told
F
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
C G
But save a few for Lefty, too
F Am
And now he's growin' old
F
Yes a few old gray federales still say
C G
They could have had him any day
F Am
Out of kindness, I suppose
