[Bb] Living on the road, my [F] friend, was gonna keep us free and clean
[Eb] But now you wear your skin like gun [Bb] and your breath's as [F] hot as kerosene
[Eb] You weren't your mama's only boy, [Bb] but her favorite one, [Eb] it seems
[Gm] She began to cry when [F] you said goodbye and [C] sank into [Gm] your dreams
[F] [Bb] Pancho was a bandit, [F] boys, rode a horse fast as polished [Eb] steel
Wore his guns outside his [C] pants [Bb] for all the [F] honest world to feel
[Eb] Pancho met his match, you [Bb] know, on the deserts down [Eb] in Mexico
[Gm] No one [Eb] heard his [F] dying words, but [Cm] [Eb] that's the way [Gm] it goes
[Eb] Oh, the Federales [Bb] say they could've [Eb] had him any [Dm] day
They only let him [F] slip away, [Eb] out of kindness, I [Gm] suppose
Now [Bb] lefty he can't sing the blues [F] all night long like he used [Eb] to
The duster Pancho bit [Bb] down south, did a did up, [F] he left his mouth
[Eb] The day they laid old [C] Pancho [Bb] low, left his blood [Eb] full of high [Gm] o's
Where he got [Dm] the [F] bread and the gold, [Eb] there ain't [Gm] nobody knows
[Eb] Oh, the Federales [Bb] say they could've [Eb] had him any [Gm] day
They only let him [F] slip away, out [Eb] of kindness, I [Gm] suppose
Now [Bb] poets sing how Pancho fell, [F] left his living in a cheap hotel
[Eb] Desert's quiet and [Bb] Cleveland's cold, and so the story [F] ends we're told
[Eb] Pancho needs your prayers, it's [Bb] true, save a few, [Eb] fool lefty [Gm] too
He [Bb] only did what he had [F] to do, [Eb] and now he's [Gm] glowing old
[Eb] Oh, the Federales [Bb] say they could've had him [Eb] any day
[Gm] They only let him go [F] so long, out [Eb] of kindness, I [Gm] suppose
Oh, [Eb] the Federales [Bb] say they could've had [Eb] him any day
[Gm] They only let him go [F] so long, [Eb] out of kindness, [Gm] I suppose
