[D] [Am] Living [G]
[C]
on the road my friend
[G] Was gonna keep you free and clean
[F] Now you wear your skin like [C] iron
Your breath's as hard [G] as [F] kerosene
Richard Mama [C] was a favorite [F] one it seemed
She [Am] began to cry [C] when you [G] said goodbye
Then [F] sank into your [Am] dream
[G] [C]
Pancho was a bandit
[G] His horse was fast like polished steel
[F] He wore his gun outside his pants
[C] For all the [G] honest world to [F] feel
Pancho that you know
[C] In the deserts [F] down in Mexico
[Am] And no one [F] heard [C] his [G] dying word
[F] But that's the way it [Am] goes
[G] [F] All the feds are right to say
[C] We could have [F] had him anything
[Am]
We only let [F] him [C] slip [G] away
Out [F] of kindness I [Am] suppose
[G] [C] Lefty doesn't seem to blue
[G] All night long like he used [F] to
The dusty Pancho bit down south
[C]
Ended up [G] in Lefty's [F] mouth
Day they laid Pancho low
[C] Lefty's fit [F] for Ohio
[Am] And where he got [C] the [G] bread to go
[F] There ain't nobody [Am] known

All the feds say

The desert's quiet and Cleveland's [C] cold
And so the story [G] ends we're [F] told
Pancho needs your prayers it's [C] true
Let's save a few [F] for Lefty too
[Am] He only [F] did what he [C] had [G] to do
[F] Oh and now he's growing [Am]
