Song written by Townes Van Zandt sung by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/w/willie-nelson/348040.html ] (Verse 1) 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 G A She began to cry when you said good bye G Bm And sank into your dreams (Verse 2) 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, you know D G On the deserts down in Mexico Bm G A No one heard his dyin' words G Bm But that's the way it goes (Chorus) G And all the federales say D G They could have had him any day Bm G A They only let him slip away G Bm Out of kindness, I suppose (Verse 3) 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 Ohio Bm G A Where he got the bread to go G Bm Well there ain't nobody 'knows (Chorus) (Verse 4) 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 G A He only did what he had to do G Bm And now he's growin' old (Chorus) (Final Chorus) D Yes a few old gray federales still say D G They could have had him any day Bm G A They only let him go so wrong G Bm Out of kindness, I suppose  |
