This song reminds me of being a kid. My parents used to play music all the time and Hoyt Axton was one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it. These chords correspond to the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg807ar4Fwc Miss you Dad! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hoyt Axton - Poncho and Lefty Standard Tuning No capo [Intro] Dm F G C [Verse 1]
CLivin' on the road my friend GIs gonna make you free and clean And Fnow you wear your skin like iron Your Cbreath's as hot as Gkerosene FYou weren't your mamma's only boy But her Cfavorite one it sFeems She beCgan to cry when you said, goodDmbye And it Fsank you to your Amdream
[Verse 2]
CPoncho was a bandit beau GHis horse was fast as polished steel He Fwore his gun outside his clothes For Call the honest Gworld to feel FPoncho met his match you know On the Cdesert down in FMexico CNo one heard his dyin' Dmwords But Fthat's the way it Amgoes
[Chorus]
And Fall the Federales say CThey could have had him Fany day CThey only let him Dmslip away Out of Fkindness I sAmuppose

[Verse 3]
CLefty, he can't sing the blues GAll night long like he used to do The Fdust that Poncho bit down south CEnded up in GLefty's mouth The Fday, they lay poor Poncho low CLefty split for FOhio CWhere he got the bread to Dmgo Well, Fthere ain't nobody Amknows
[Verse 4]
CPoets tell how Poncho fell And GLefty's livin' in a cheap hotel The Fdesert's quiet, Cleveland's cold CSo the story Gends I'm told FPoncho needs your prayers, it's true But Csave a few for FLefty too CHe only did what he had to Dmdo And Fnow he's growin' Amold
[Chorus]
And a Ffew gray Federales say CWe could have had him Fany day CThey only let him slip Dmaway FOut of kindness I sAmuppose
[Chorus]
FSaid a few gray Federales say CWe could have had him any Fday CWe only let him Dmgo so long Out of Fkindness I sAmuppose
