intro: A A7 D Dm A F#m7 B7 E7
A A7 D Dm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
A F#m7 B7 E7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
A A7 D Dm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
A F#m7 B7 (E7) A E
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you some how
F#m C#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
D A
She'll beat you if she's able,
F#m7 D A E
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
F#m C#m D A
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
F#m B7 E E7 E
But you only want the things that you can't get
A A7 D Dm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
A F#m7 B7 E7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
A A7 D Dm
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
A F#m7 B7 (E7) A E
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
F#m C#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
D A
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
F#m7 D A E
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
F#m C#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
D A B7 E7 E
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
A A7 D Dm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
A F#m B7 E7
Come down from your fences and open the gate
A A7 D Dm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
A F#m D Bm7
You better let somebody love you, you better let somebody love you
A F#m Bm7 E7 A
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
