[N] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] One of the best [C] songs ever written a _ _ [Eb] song called poncho and lefty
_ [D] _ written by an Austin boy
_ [G] _ But any good like Emmylou and I would like to sing it for you.
Okay, and [B] Lyle's gonna help us, too _
_ _ _ Oh yeah, Lyle's gonna listen to this.
_ _ Glad to have you, Lyle. _ _

_ [E] When you [Gb] say goodbye, _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ take [Abm] me to your _ dreams _ _ _
[B] _ Poncho was a bandit boy _
[Gb] His horse was fast as polished [E] steel
He wore his gun outside his den
[B] For all the honest [Gb] world to feel
[E] _
Poncho met his match, you know
_ [B]
The deserts down [E] in Mexico
_ _ [Abm]
Nobody heard his [Gb] dying _ words
_ _ _ [E] Oh, but that's the way it [Abm] _ _ goes _ _ _ _
[E] _ All the better all they say
[B] _ Coulda [E] had him any day
[Abm] _ Only let him [Gb] slip away
_ _ _ _ [E] Out of kindness, out [Abm] of love _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ Lefty, he can't sing the [Gb] blues
All night long like he used to
_ [E] Just that poncho bit down south
[B] He laid up [Gb] and left his nun _
[E] And he laid poor poncho low
[B] _
Left his [E] split for Ohio
_ [Abm] _
_ Where he got the bread to [Gb] go _
_ _ _ _ [E] It rained on [Abm] my _ _ nose _ _
_ [E] All the better all they say
[B] _ _ Coulda [E] had him any [Abm] day
Only let him slip [Gb] _
away
_ _ _ [E] Out of kindness, [Abm] out of love _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _

_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
Poets tell how poncho fell
_ [A] Left his linen in a cheap hotel
_ [G] The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
_ _ [D] So the story ends, [A] word go
_ _ [G] _ Poncho needs your prayers, it's true
_ _ [D] Save a few [G] for Lefty too
[Bm] He only [G] did what he had to [A] do
And _ _ _ _
_ [G] now he's growing old
[Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] All the better all they say
[D] _ Coulda had him [G] any day
[Bm] _ Only let him slip _ [A] away _ _ _ _
_ [G] Out of kindness, out of [Bm] love _
_ He's _ _ [G] _ _
great, better all they say
[D] _ Coulda had [G] him any day
_ [Bm] Only let him go [A] so far
Out _ _ [G] of kindness, _ [Bm] out of love
He's great, better all they say
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
