Biography:
Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound.

[Verse 1]
D
Livin' on the road, my friend
A
Was gonna keep you free and clean
G
But now you wear your skin like iron
D A
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
G
You weren't your mama's only boy
D G
But her favorite one, it seems
Bm G A
She began to cry when you said "good bye"
G Bm
And sank into your dreams

[Verse 2]
D
Pancho was a bandit, boys
A
His horse was fast as polished steel
G
He wore his guns outside his pants
D A
For all the honest world to feel
G
Pancho met his match, you know
D G
On the deserts down in Mex-i-co
Bm G A
Nobody heard his dyin' words
G Bm
Aw, but that's the way it goes
Bm A
[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D G
They could have had him any day
Bm G A
They only let him slip a-way
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
Bm A
[Verse 3]
D
Lefty he can't sing the blues
A
All night long like he used to
G
The dust that Pancho bit down South
D A
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
G
The day they laid old Pancho low
D G
Lefty split for O-hi-o
Bm G A
Where he got the bread to go
G Bm
There ain't nobody knows
Bm A
[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D G
They could've had him any day
Bm G A
We only let him slip a-way
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose

[Verse 4]
D
Poets tell how Pancho fell
A
An' Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels
G
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
D A
And so the story ends, we're told
G
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
D G
But save a few for Lefty, too
Bm G A
He only did what he had to do
G Bm
And now he's growin' old
Bm A
[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D G
We could've had him any day
Bm G A
Only let him go so long
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
G
A few gray federales say
D G
We could have had him any day
Bm G A
We only let go so long
G Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
