Townes Van Zandt - Pancho and Lefty, аккорды

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
                              
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 

 
D
Pancho was a bandit, boys 
 
A
Rode a horse fast as polished steel 
 
G
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 Mexico 
 
Bm
                      
G
  
A
No one heard his dyin' words 
 
G
                   
Bm
But that's the way it goes 

Chorus:
 
G
And all the federales say 
 
D
                           
G
They could have had him any day 
 
Bm
                 
G
    
A
They only let him slip away 
       
G
               
Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose 

 
D
Now 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
It ended up in Lefty's mouth 
 
G
The day they laid old Pancho low 
 
D
                  
G
Lefty split for Ohio 
 
Bm
                      
G
   
A
Where he got the bread to go 
 
G
                     
Bm
Well there ain't nobody 'knows 

Chorus

 
D
Now poets sing how Pancho fell 
 
A
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel 
 
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 

Chorus

Final Chorus:
 
D
Yes a few old gray federales still say 
 
D
                            
G
They could have had him any day 
 
Bm
                     
G
      
A
They only let him go so wrong 
       
G
                
Bm
Out of kindness, I suppose
