Pancho And Lefty ukulele

Pancho And Lefty

• D

I also lead into the verse with  
g+--------------  then picking out of the D chord, etc.  

D 
Livin' on the road, my friend  
A 
Was gonna keep us free and clean  
G 
But now you wear your skin like iron 
        D           D/C#    D4/B       A 
And you breath's as hard as kerosene 
G 
You weren't your mama's only boy 
        D        D/C#    D4/B 
But her favorite one, it seems  
    D 
She began to cry 
         D/C# D4/B A    A7 
When you said good bye  
    G             Bm 
And sank into you dreams  
 
(same chords as first verse)  
Pancho was a bandit, boys  
Rode a horse fast as polished steel  
Wore his guns outside his pants  
For all the honest world to feel 
Pancho met his match, ya know  
On the deserts down in Mexico  
No one heard his dyin' words  
But that's the way it goes 
 
Chorus (words change slightly, each time)  
G 
And all the federales say  
     D        D/C#    D4/B 
They could of had him any day  
      D    D/C#    D4/B     A   A7 
They only let him slip away  
       G               Bm 
Out of kindness, I suppose 
 
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues  
All night long like he used to  
The dust that Pancho bit down South  
It ended up in Lefty's mouth  
The day they laid old Pancho low  
Lefty split for Ohio  
Where he got the bread to go  
Well there ain't nobody 'knows  
 
But all the federales say  
They could of had him any day  
They only let him slip away  
Out of kindness, I suppose 
 
Now poets sing how Pancho fell  
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel  
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold 
And so the story ends, we're told  
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true  
But save a few for Lefty, too  
He only did what he had to do  
And now he's growin' old  
 
And all the federales say  
They could of had him any day  
They only let him go so long  
Out of kindness, I suppose 
 
Yes a few old gray federales still say  
They could of had him any day  
They only let him go so wrong 
Out of kindness, I suppose
