Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Pancho and Lefty" dari Merle Haggard dan Willie Nelson.

[Verse 1]
D
Livin' on the road, my friend
A
Was gonna keep you free and clean
G
And now you wear your skin like iron
D                                          A
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
G
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 goodbye
G                            Bm             A
And sank into your dreams

[Verse 2]
D
Pancho was a bandit, boys
A
His horse was fast as polished steel
G
He wore his gun outside his pants
D                       A
For all the honest world to feel
G
Well, Pancho met his match, you know
D                         G
On the deserts down in Mexico
Bm                       G    A
Nobody heard his dyin' words
G                                   Bm A
Ah, but that's the way it goes

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

[Verse 3]
D
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
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
G
The day they laid poor Pancho low
D                     G                
Lefty split for Ohio
Bm                      G             A
Where he got the bread to go
G                            Bm       A
There ain't nobody knows

[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D                                 G
They could have had him any day
Bm                  G     A
We only let him slip away
            G                 Bm       A
Out of kindness, I suppose

[Verse 4]
D
The poets tell how Pancho fell
A
And 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 A
And now he's growin' old

[Chorus]
G
All the federales say
D                                     G
They could have had him any day
Bm                            G   A
They only let him go so long
            G                 Bm         A
Out of kindness, I suppose

[Outro]
G
A few gray federales say
D                                    G
They could have had him any day
Bm                         G     A
They only let him go so long
          G                  Bm    G   A   D
Out of kindness, I suppose
