Intro: 1 2 3 4 D 2 3 4 D 2 3 4 D 2 3 4 A 2 3 4 
D                             
Livin' on the road, my friend 
A                                
Was gonna keep us free and clean 
G                                    
But now you wear your skin like iron 
         D                   A        
And your breath's as hard as kerosene 
G                                
You weren't your mama's only boy 
        D                G     
But her favorite one, it seems 
    Bm           
She began to cry 
                       A       
When you said good bye 1 2 3 4 
    G              Bm             
And sank into your dreams 2 3 4 1 
D                         
Pancho was a bandit, boys 
A                                   
Rode a horse fast as polished steel 
G                               
Wore his guns outside his pants 
    D              A             
For all the honest world to feel 
G                             
Pancho met his match, ya know 
D                      G       
On the deserts down in Mexi-co 
Bm                           A       
No one heard his dyin' words 1 2 3 4 
    G                 Bm   
But that's the way it goes 
       
Chorus 
    G                     
And all the federales say 
     D                    G   
They could've had him any day 
Bm                          A       
They only let him slip away 1 2 3 4 
       G               Bm         
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 2 3 4 
D                                 
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues 
A                              
All night long like he used to 
    G                               
The dust that Pancho bit down South 
   D           A             
It ended up in Lefty's mouth 
    G                            
The day they laid old Pancho low 
D               G     
Lefty split for Ohi-o 
Bm                           A       
Where he got the bread to go 1 2 3 4 
           G            Bm          
Well there ain't nobody knows 2 3 4 
       
Chorus 
    G                     
And all the federales say 
     D                    G   
They could've had him any day 
Bm                          A       
They only let him slip away 1 2 3 4 
       G               Bm           
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 2 3 4 1 
D                              
Now poets sing how Pancho fell 
A                               
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel 
    G                                   
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold 
    D            A                
And so the story ends, we're told 
G                                    
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true 
D                  G          
But save a few for Lefty, too 
Bm                            A       
He only did what he had to do 1 2 3 4 
    G                Bm        
And now he's growin' old 2 3 4 
       
Chorus 
G                         
And all the federales say 
     D                    G   
They could've had him any day 
Bm                           A       
They only let him go so long 1 2 3 4 
       G               Bm   
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 
      G                           
Yes a few old federales still say 
     D                    G   
They could've had him any day 
Bm                            A       
They only let him go so wrong 1 2 3 4 
       G               Bm                 
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 2 3 4 A 2 3 4 
       G               Bm                 
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 2 3 4 A 2 3 4 
       G               Bm                         
Out of kindness, I sup-pose 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 ~
