'Pancho and Lefty (ft. Willie Nelson)' by Merle Haggard - Guitar Tutorial

             C  
Living on the road my friend 
 G7  
Was gonna keep us free and clean 
 F  
But now you wear your skin like iron 
 C                                  G7  
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 
 Am                          F        G7  
She began to cry when you said good bye 
 F                    Am  
And sank into your dreams 
 
 C  
Pancho was a bandit boy 
 G7  
Rode a horse fast as polished steel 
 F  
He wore his guns outside his pants 
 C                             G7  
For all the honest world to feel 
 
 F  
Pancho met his match you know 
 C                        F  
On the deserts down in Mexico 
 Am             F           G7  
Nobody heard his dying words 
 F                       Am  
But that's the way it goes 
 
 F  
And all the federales say 
 C                             F  
They could have had him any day 
 Am                  F      G7  
They only let him slip away 
        F               Am  
Out of kindness I suppose 
 
 C  
Now Lefty he can't sing the blues 
 G7  
All night long like he used to 
 F  
The dust that Pancho bit down South 
 C                        G7  
It ended up in Lefty's mouth 
 
 F  
The day they laid poor Pancho low 
 C                 F  
Lefty split for Ohio 
 Am                 F      G7  
Where he got the bread to go 
      F                    Am  
Well there ain't nobody knows 
 
 F  
And all the federales say 
 C                             F  
They could have had him any day 
 Am                  F      G7  
They only let him slip away 
        F               Am  
Out of kindness I suppose 
 
 C  
The poets tell how Pancho fell 
 G7  
Lefty's living in a cheap hotel 
 F  
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold 
 C                             G7  
And so the story ends we're told 
 
 F  
Pancho needs your prayers it's true 
 C                          F  
But save a few for Lefty too 
 Am                 F       G7  
He only did what he had to do 
 F                      Am  
And now he's growing old 
 
 F  
And all the federales say 
 C                             F  
They could have had him any day 
 Am                  F       G7  
They only let him go so long 
        F               Am  
Out of kindness I suppose 
 
 F  
 A  few gray federales say 
 C                             F  
They could have had him any day 
 Am                  F       G7  
They only let him go so long 
        F               Am  
Out of kindness I suppose
