I also lead into the verse with e+-----------2-- b+--2--3--5----- g+-------------- then picking out of the chord, etc. d+-----------0-- a+--0--2--4----- e+-------------- Livin' on the road, my friend, Was gonna keep us free and clean, But now you wear your skin like iron And you breath's as hard as kerosene. You weren't your mama's only boy But her favorite one, it seems. She began to cry When you said good bye And sank into your dreams. (same chords as first verse) Pancho was a bandit, boys, Rode a horse fast as polished steel, Wore his guns outside his pants For all the honest world to feel. Pancho met his match, you know, in the deserts down in Mexico. No one heard his dying words But that's the way it goes. Chorus (words change slightly, each time) G And all the federales say They could've had him any day. They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose.
