Poncho & Lefty - Willie Nelson
D G D G D
INTRO
D A
Living on the road my friend, was gonna keep us free and clean
G
Now you wear your skin like iron,
D A
Your breath as hard as kerosene.
G D G
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems
D G D A
She began to cry when you said good- bye,
G Bm Bm A D
And sank into your dreams.
D A
Poncho was a bandit boy, his horse fast as polished steel
G
He wore his gun outside his pants
D A
For all the honest world to feel.
G D G
Poncho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico
D G D A G Bm Bm A G
Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes.
G D G
All the Federales say they could have had him any day
D G D A G Bm Bm A D
They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.
D A
Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to.
G D A
The dust that Poncho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
G D G
The day they laid poor Poncho low, Lefty split for Ohio
D G D A G Bm Bm A G
Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows
G D G
All the Federales say they could have had him any day
D G D A G Bm Bm A D
They only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.
SOLO
D A
The poets tell how Poncho fell, and Lefty's living in cheap hotels
G D A
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold, and so the story ends we're told
G D G
Poncho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
D G D A G Bm Bm A G
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old
G D G
All the Federales say they could have had him any day
D G D A G Bm Bm A G
They only let him go so long out of kindness, I suppose.
G D G
A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day
D G D A G Bm G A D
We only let him go so long out of kindness, I suppose.
