[Intro: ]C - F (4x)  

(verse 1)   
 C                                               G    
Living on the road, my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean,    
F                      
Now you wear your skin like iron,    
         C                        G    
Your breath as hard as kerosene,    
        F                                                      C                     F    
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one, it seems,    
            C                            F     C    G    
She began to cry when you said goodbye,    
         F                    Am    G    
And sank into your dreams,    
    
    
(verse 2)    
C                                                G    
Pancho was a bandit, boys, his horse was fast as polished steel,    
       F                                               C                   G   
He wore his gun outside his pants, for all the honest world to feel.   
F                                                              C                   F    
Pancho met his match, you know, on the deserts down in Mexico,    
C                          F  C  G                    F                     Am   G   
Nobody heard his dying words, ah, but that's the way it goes,
