Emmylou Harris - Pancho and Lefty (verse 1) C Gue Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean,sa F oi Now you wear your skin like iron,

Your ^Cbreath as hard as ^Gkerosene, F oi C F You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems, ^CShe began to cry when you ^Fsaid ^Cgoodb^Gye, F Am G - C And sank into your dreams,

(verse 2)

^CPancho was a bandit boys^G, his horse was fast as polished steel, ^FHe wore his gun outside his pants, For ^Call the honest world to ^Gfeel, F oi C F Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico, C F C G F Am G - F Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes,

(chorus) F oi C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day, C F C G F Am - G - F They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose, (verse 3)

^CLefty, he can't sing the blues ^Gall night long like he used to, F oi C G The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth, F oi C F The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio, C F C G F Am - G - F Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows,

(chorus) F oi C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day, C F C G F Am G - C They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose, (verse 4)

^CPoets tell how Pancho fell, and Lef^Gty's living in a cheap hotel, ^FThe desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, ^CAnd so the story ^Gends we're told, F oi C F Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too, C F C G F Am - G - F He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old,

Chorus) F oi C F All the Federales say they could have had him any day, C F C G F Am - F - G They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose, F oi C F A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day,

^CThey only let him g^Fo s^Co l^Gong, out of of ^Fkindness, I s^Amuppose,
