Pancho And Lefty
Townes Van Zandt
Key : C
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C#     | G#7 | G# | F# 
D#m/F# | A#m 
G#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#
 Living on the road, my friend
G#
 Was gonna keep you free and clean
G#7 G# F#
      Now you wear your skin like iron
                 C#            G#7   G#
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
F#
 You weren't your mama's only boy
          C#                  F#
But her favorite one, it seems
      A#m                 F#   Fm  G#
She began to cry when you said goodbye
G#7 G#   F#             A#m   G#
    And sank into your dreams

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#
 Pancho was a bandit, boys
    G#                    G#7       G#
His horse was fast as polished steel
F#
 Wore his gun outside his pants
    C#                  G#7      G#
For all the honest world  to feel
F#
 But Pancho met his match, you know
         C#            F#
In the deserts down in Mexico
    A#m              F# Fm  G#
And nobody heard his dying words
G#7 G# F#                    A#m
     That's the way it goes

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F#                 D#m/F#
 And all the federales say
     C#                 F#
They could have had him any day
A#m                 F#   Fm G#
  They only let him hang a_round
G#7 G#      F#                 A#m
    Out of kindness, I suppose

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#
 And Lefty, he can't sing the blues
G#                     G#7    G#
All night long like he used to
    F#
The dust that Pancho bit down south
C#             G#7       G#
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
F#
 The day they laid poor Pancho low
C#              F#
Lefty split for Ohio
    A#m              F#    Fm G#
And where he got the bread to go
G#7 G# F#           A#m
     Ain't nobody knows

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
F#                 D#m/F#
 And all the federales say
     C#                 F#
They could have had him any day
A#m                 F#   Fm G#
  They only let him slip a_way
G#7 G#      F#                 A#m G#
    Out of kindness, I suppose

[Interlude]
---------------------
C#     | G#7 | G# | F# 
D#m/F# | A#m | G# 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C#
 Well, the poets tell how Pancho fell
G#                           G#7 G#
 Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
F#
 The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
C#                 G#7         G#
 So the story ends,  we're told
F#
 Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
    C#             F#
But save a few for Lefty, too
A#m                 F#  Fm G#
He just did what he had to do
G#7 G#   F#                  A#m
    And now he's growing old

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
F#                D#m/F#
 A few gray federales say
     C#                 F#
They could have had him any day
A#m                 F# Fm G#
  They only let him go so wrong
G#7 G#      F#                 A#m
    Out of kindness, I suppose

[Outro]
---------------------
F#                D#m/F#
 A few gray federales say
     C#                 F#
They could have had him any day
A#m                 F# Fm G#
  They only let him go so wrong
G#7 G#      F#                 A#m
    Out of kindness, I suppose
