Chords for Poncho and Lefty - Cody Jinks and The Tone Deaf Hippies

[C#] _ _ _ This is my favorite song in the whole world.
_ _ _ [F#] I remember hearing this song when I was about three.
It was the Willie and Merle [G] version of the Towns [C#] Band. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And I don't know, man, it was one of those moments
whenever, I guess, whenever you're three,
whenever you're really figuring things out.
_ _ _ _ Because pretty much, most of the stuff you know
by the time you're three will carry you.
_ _ _ _ _ You know what's right and wrong.
You know what sound good. Good. _ _ _ _
Living on the road, my friend, _ [G#]
is going to give you crazy.
_ _ [F#] _
Now you wear your skin light.
_ [C#] _
Your breath is [G#] hard, it's carousel. _
[F#] _ Weren't your mama's only boy, but [C#] her favorite one ain't [F#] same. _ _
_ [A#] So you had to [A#m] cry when you [G#] said goodbye.
You _ _ _ _ [F#] _
sang into your [A#] grave. _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ [C#] _ Pacho was a bandit boy.
[G#] His heart was fast as polished steel.
[F#] He wore his gun outside his mouth
[C#] for all the honest [G#] world affairs.
[F#] And Pacho met his match in [C#] New Orleans,
in the deserts down [F#] in Mexico.
_ [A#m] _ Nobody heard his [C#] [G#] dying words, _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ left the way [A#m] he died.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [F#] And all the peasants were all the same.
[C#] They could have had [F#] him any day.
[A#m] _
Only later, [C#] he grew [G#] so old. _
_ _ _ He got a [F#] kindness of his [A#m] own.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [C#] _ Lefty, he can't sail the [G#] boat all night long like he used [F#] to.
That does the Pacho Bed-Down sound.
[C#] He did [G#] up and left his mind.
_ [F#] The desert land poor Pacho. _
[C#] _ _ Left his [F#] split for Ohio.
_ [A#m] Where he got the bread [G#] to go.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Ain't nobody [A#m] know. _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ [F#] _ All the peasants were all the same.
[C#] They could have had him [F#] any [C#] day.
[A#m] They only let [C#] him slip [G#] away. _ _ _ _
That [F#] kind of kindness of [A#m] his own. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ [C#] _ Oh, I say, oh, how Pacho fell.
[G#] _ Left his living in a cheap old town.
[F#] That desert's quiet and pale and it's [C#] cold.
_ So the story [G#] ends.
_ _ [F#] And Pacho needs your prayers, it's true.
[C#] _ Save a few [F#] for Lefty, too.
_ [A#m] He only did what he [C#] had [G#] to do. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ Now he's growing [A#m] old.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [F#] _
All the peasants were all the same.
[C#] They could have had [F#] him any day.
[A#m] _
They only let [C#] him go [G#] through all _ _ _ _ [F#] that kindness [A#m] of his own.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
[F#] _ If they'd better all they say, [C#] they could have had [F#] him any day.
[A#m] _ They only let him slip [G#]
away.
_ _ _ _ [F#] That kind of kindness of his [A#m] own. _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _
