Chords for Pancho and Lefty
I finally came to the realization that it would be easier for me and easier for you guys if I posted videos of how these songs are played. That way you can play/sing along if you want. So this is Pancho and Lefty, which was a huge hit for Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. The song was written by Townes Van Zandt, and I’d really encourage you to get a copy of one of his versions of this song as well. Enjoy the video, and if there’s a song you’d like to learn, drop me a line in the comments or contact me and I’ll do my best to figure out the song and post it.
