PANCHO AND LEFTY (written by Townes Van Zandt)
as done by Emmylou Harris on her album Luxury Liner
CG Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean F Now you wear your skin like iron, CG Your breath as hard as kerosene. FCF You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems CFCG She began to cry when you said goodbye, FAmAmGC And sank into your dreams. CG Pancho was a bandit boys, his horse was fast as polished steel F He wore his gun outside his pants CG For all the honest world to feel. FCF Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico CFCGFAmAmGF Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes.
FCF All the Federales say they could have had him any day CFCGFAm They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.
AmGC CG Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to. FCG The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth FCF The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio CFCGFAm Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows
AmGF FCF All the Federales say they could have had him any day CFCGFAmAmGC They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.
CG Poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's living in a cheap hotel F The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, CG And so the story ends we're told FCF Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too CFCGFAm He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old
AmGF FCF All the Federales say they could have had him any day CFCGFAm They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.
AmGF FCF A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day CFCGFAm They only let him go so long, out of of kindness, I suppose.
