_ _ _ Living on the road, my friend, _ [A] was gonna keep you free and clean.
[G] _ Now you wear your skin like iron, _ [D] and your breath as hard [A] as _ kerosene.
[G] _ You weren't your mama's only [D] boy, [G] but her favorite one it seemed.
She _ _ began to cry when you [A] said goodbye, _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ and sank into [Bm] your dream. _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ [D] _ Poncho was a bandit boy.
[A] _ His horse was fast as polished steel.
_ [G] He wore his gun outside his pants [D] for all the [A] honest world to feel.
_ [G] _ Poncho met his match, you know, [D] on the deserts down [G] in Mexico.
_ [Bm] _ Nobody [G] heard his dying [F#m] [A] word, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] but that's the way [B] it goes.

All the _ federales say _ [D]
they could have had him [G] any day.

They only let [G] him [F#m] slip [A] away. _
_ _ _ _ Out [G] of kindness I [Bm] support. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Lefty, he can't sing the blues [A] all night long like he used to.
_ [G] The dusty poncho bit down south.
_ [D] He ended up [A] and left his mouth.
[G] _ Today they laid poor Poncho low.
_ [D] Lefty split for [G] _ Ohio, _ [Bm] _ where he got [G] [F#m] bread to [A] go. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ There ain't nobody to [Bm] know.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
All the _ _ federales [Em] say [D]

_ [C#m] _ [D] _ poets tell how Poncho fell, [A] and left his living in a cheap hotel.
_ [G] The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, _ [D] and so the story [A]
ends we're told.
[G] _ Poncho need your prayers and truth, [D] _ to save a [G] few who left it too.
_ He only did what he [A] had to do. _ _ _
_ _ [G] And now he's [Bm] grown old.
