[D#] [G]
Living on the road, my friend
[D] Is gonna keep you free and clean
[C] Now you wear your skin like iron
[G] Your breasts as hard [D] as kerosene
[G] [C] Weren't your mama's the only boy
[G] But her fear and want [C] it seems
[Em] She began to cry when you [G] said [D] goodbye
And
[C] sank into [Em] her dreams
[G] March on, all the bandit [D] boys
Horse as fast as polished steel
[C] War was gone outside of his pants
[G] For all the honest [D]
love that [C] feels
March on, that is match you know
[G] On the deserts down in [C] Mexico
[Em] Nobody hurt [C] his [G] dying [D] words
[C]
But that's how it [Em] goes
[D] [C] All the veterans [G] say
Couldn't let [C] him any day
[Em] They only let [C] him [G] slip [D] away
Out [C]
of kindness, [Em] I suppose
[G] Lefty, he can't sing them blues
[D] All night long like he used [C] to
Dusit Poncho, a little bit down south
[G] He ended up [D] in Lefty's mouth
[C] Day they laid poor Poncho low
[G] Lefty split [C] for Ohio
[Em] Where he [C] got the [G] bread [D] to go
Ain't [C]
[Em] nobody knows
[D] [C] All the veterans say
[G] Couldn't let [C] him any day
[Em] They only let [C] him [G] [D] slip away
[C] Out of kindness, [Em] I suppose
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[Em] [C] [G]
[D] [C]
[Em]
[G] Poets tell how Poncho fell
[D] Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
[C] The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
[G] And so the story [D] ends with a toll
[C] Poncho needs your prayers, it's true
[G] But save a few [C] for Lefty too
[Em] He only did [C] what he [G] had [D] to do
[C]
Now he's [Em] grown old
All [C] the veterans say
[G] Couldn't let [C] him any day
[Em] They only let him [G] [D] slip away
[G] Out [C] of kindness, I [Em] suppose
You're [G] [C] afraid that Ohio State
[G] Couldn't let [C] him any day
[Em] They only let him [C] [G] go so [D] long
Out [C] of kindness, [Em] I suppose
