PANCHO AND LEFTY TOWNES VAN ZANDT C G F Am C Living on the road my friend G Is gonna keep you free and clean F Now you wear your skin like iron C G Your breath as hard as kerosene F Weren't your mama's only boy C F But her favorite one it seems Am F C G She began to cry when you said goodbye F Am And sank into your dreams C Pancho was a bandit, boys, G His horse was fast as polished steel F He wore his gun outside his pants C G For all the honest world to feel F Pancho met his match you know on the C F deserts down in Mexico Am F C G Nobody heard his dying words F Am but that's the way it goes Chorus: F All the Federales say they C F could have had him any day Am F C G They only let him slip a - way 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 ended up in Lefty's mouth F The day they laid poor Pancho low C F Lefty split for Ohio Am F C G Where he got the bread to go F Am there ain't nobody knows Chorus C G F Am C Poets tell how Pancho fell and G Lefty's living 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 but C F save a few for Lefty too Am F C G He only did what he had to do F Am and now he's growing old Chorus 2: F All the Federales say C F could have had him any day Am F C G We only let him slip a - way F Am out of kindness I suppose F A few gray Federales say C F could have had him any day Am F C G We only only let him go so long F Am out of of kindness I suppose Am
