Pancho And Lefty Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G][F][Am]
[C]Livin'

[Verse 1]
on the road,
my friend,
[G]is gonna keep you free and clean
[F]Now you wear your skin like iron,
your [C]breasts as hard as [G]kerosene
Wer[F]en't your mama's only boy,
but her [C]favorite one it seem[F]s
She [Am]began to cry when you [F]said
[G]goodbye[F][Am]
[C]Huncho was a bandit boy
[G]His horse was fast as polished steel
[F]He wore his gun outside his pants
For [C]all the honest [G]world to feel
[F]I'm sure that as much as you know
In the [C]deserts down in [F]Mexico
[Am]Nobody heard his [F]dying [G]word
[F]That's the way it [Am]goes[G]
[F]All the Federales say,
[C]could hide him [F]any day,
[Am]they only let him [F]slip [G]away,
out of [F]kindness I suppose.
[Am]Left[C]y can sing the blues
[G]All night long, like he used to
[F]Just a poncho pit down the South
[C]Ended up in [G]Lefty's mind
[F]The day they laid poor Pancho low
[C]Left his spit for [F]Ohio
[Am]Where he got the [F]bread [C]to [G]go
[F]Ain't nobody [Am]know
[F]All the Federales say,
[C]could have him [F]any day,
[Am]They only let him [F]slip [C]away,[G]
what a [F]kindless [Am]Port[C]s tell
how Poncho fell
[G]Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
[F]Desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
[C]So the story [G]ends we're told
[F]Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
[C]Saved a few for [F]a lefty too
[Am]He only did what he had [F]to do[G]
[F]Now he's growing [Am]old[G]
[F]All the Federales say,
[C]we could have had him [F]any day
[Am]We only let him sl[F]ip a[C]way,[G]
out of [F]kindness I suppose
[Am][C][G][F]
[C]Mu [G]sic[F][C]
[F][Am][F][C][G][F][Am]
[G]A f[F]ew grey fed rallies, they say,
[C]could hide a [F]mighty day
[Am]We only let him go[F] so wr[G]ong
By [F]kindness I suppose

[Outro 1]
