Emmylou Harris - Pancho and Lefty
(verse 1)
C G
Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean,
F
Now you wear your skin like iron,
C G
Your breath as hard as kerosene,
F C F
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems,
C F C G
She began to cry when you said goodbye,
F Am G - C
And sank into your dreams,
(verse 2)
C G
Pancho was a bandit boys, 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 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 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)
C G
Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to,
F C G
The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth,
F 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 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)
C G
Poets tell how Pancho fell, and 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 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 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 C F
A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day,
C F C G F Am
They only let him go so long, out of of kindness, I suppose,
