DLiving (xx0232@1)on the road, my friend,
AIs (x02220@1)gonna keep you free and clean,
GNow (320003@1)you wear your skin like iron,
    D (xx0232@1)                      AAnd (x02220@1)your breath's as hard as kerosene.
GYou (320003@1)weren't your mama's only boy,
        D (xx0232@1)             GBut (320003@1)her favorite one it seems
D (xx0232@1)                        G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1) AYou (x02220@1)heard her cry when you said goodbye,

Pancho was a bandit boy,           A:-----------2-4----|

His horse was fast as polished steel.
GHe (320003@1)wore his gun outside his pants
D (xx0232@1)                AFor (x02220@1)all the honest world to feel.
GPancho (320003@1)met his match, you know,
       D (xx0232@1)             GOn (320003@1)the deserts down in Mexico.
D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D   ANobody (x02220@1)heard his dying words,
G (320003@1)                           Bm (x24432@1)AAh, (x02220@1)but that's the way it goes. 

GAll (320003@1)the Federales say
D (xx0232@1)                     GThey (320003@1)could have had him any day,
D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1) AThey (x02220@1)only let him slip a - way
G (320003@1)                   BmRiff (x24432@1)  Out of kindness, I suppose

DLefty, (xx0232@1)he can't sing the blues
AAll (x02220@1)night long like he used to.
GThe (320003@1)dust that Pancho bit down south
D (xx0232@1)         AEnded (x02220@1)up in Lefty's mouth.
GThe (320003@1)day they laid poor Pancho low,
D (xx0232@1)             GLefty (320003@1)split for Ohio
D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)AWhere (x02220@1)he got the bread to go,

Solo (3:10)

DThe (xx0232@1)poets tell how Pancho fell,
AAnd (x02220@1)Lefty's living in cheap hotels.
GThe (320003@1)desert's quiet, and Cleveland's cold,
D (xx0232@1)              AAnd (x02220@1)so the story ends we're told.
GPancho (320003@1)needs your prayers, it's true,
D (xx0232@1)                GBut (320003@1)save a few for Lefty too.
D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)AHe (x02220@1)only did what he had to do,
G (320003@1)                      Bm (x24432@1)AAnd (x02220@1)now he's growing old

GAll (320003@1)the Federales say

  Out of kindness, I suppose

GA (320003@1)few gray Federales say
D (xx0232@1)                        GWe (320003@1)could have had them any day,
