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.

[Intro]
D A G D
[Verse 1]
D A
Livin' on the road my friend, was gonna keep us free and clean
G D A
But now you wear you skin like iron, and your breath's as hard as kerosene
G D G
You weren't your momma's only boy, but her favorite one, it seems
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A
She began to cry when you said good-bye
G Bm A (quick change to D in the next verse)
And sank into your dreams
[Verse 2]
D A
Pancho was a bandit, boys. His horse was fast, as polished steel
G D A
He wore his gun outside his pants, for all the honest world to feel
G D G
Pancho met his match you know, on the deserts down in Mexico
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
Nobody heard his dying words Aw but that's the way it goes
[Chorus]
G D G
All the federales say, they could have had him any day
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose
[Verse 3]
D A
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues, all night long, like he used to
G D A
The dust that Pancho bit down south, ended up in Lefty's mouth
G D G
The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
Where he got the bread to go There ain't nobody knows
[Chorus]
G D G
All the federales say, they could have had him any day
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose
[Break]
Same chords and timing as a verse...
D A G D A G D G Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
[Verse 4]
D A
Now poets sing how Pancho fell, and Lefty's living in cheap hotels
G D A
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, and so the story ends we're told
G D G
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true. But save a few for Lefty too
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
He only did what he had to do. And now, he's growing old
[Chorus]
G D G
All the federales say, they could have had him any day
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A
They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose
[Outro]
G D G
A few gray federales say, they could have had him any day
Bm G A Asus4 A Asus2 A G Bm A G D
They only let him go so long Out of kindness, I suppose
