Pancho and Lefty Townes Van Zandt
Intro: [A] [A] [Bm] [Bm]
[A] Living' on the road my friend, [E] was gonna keep you free and clean
[D] Now you wear your skin like iron, your
[A] breath's as hard as [E] kerosene
[D] You weren't your mamma's only boy, but her
[A] favourite one it [D] seems
[F#m] Began to cry when you [D] said [A] good-[E]-bye [E]
And [D] sank into your [F#m] dreams [F#m]
[A] Pancho was a bandit boys, [E] his horse was fast as polished steel
[D] He wore his gun outside his pants, for [A] all the honest [E] world to feel
[D] Pancho met his match you know, in the [A] desert down in [D] Mex-i-co
And [F#m] no one heard his [D] dy-[A]-ing [E] words, [E]
But [D] that's the way it [F#m] goes [F#m]
[D] All the Federales say, we [A] could have had him [D] any day
[F#m] We only let him [D] slip [A] a-[E] way, [E],
out of [D] kindness I sup-[F#m] pose [F#m]
[A] Lefty he can't sing the blues, [E] all night long like he used to
[D] The dust that Pancho bit down south, [A] ended up in [E] Lefty's mouth
[D] The day they laid poor Pancho low, [A] Lefty split for [D] O-hi-o
[F#m] Where he got the [D]/ bread [A]/ to [E] go, [E]
There [D] ain't nobody [F#m] knows [F#m]
[D] All the Fed-er-ales say, we [A] could have had him [D] any day
[F#m] We only let him [D]/ slip [A]/ a-[E]-way, [E],
out of [D] kindness I sup-[F#m] pose [F#m]
[A] The poets tell how Pancho fell, [E] Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
[D] The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
and [A] so the story [E] ends, we're told
[D] Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but [A] save a few for [D] Lefty too
[F#m] He only did what he [D] had [A] to [E] do, [E]
And [D] now he's growing [F#m] old [F#m]
[D] All the Fed-er-ales say, we [A] could have had him [D] any day
[F#m] We only let him [D] slip [A] a-[E]-way, [E],
out of [D] kindness I sup-[F#m] pose [F#m]
[D] A few grey Fed-er-ales say, [A] could have had him [D] any day
[F#m] We only let him [D] go [A] so [E] long, [E]
out of [D] kindness I sup-[F#m]-pose [F#m]/ STOP
