     G    G7              C            Cm    
Desperado,  why don't you come to your senses
            G          Em     
You've been out ridin' fences,
    A7        D7  
for so long - now.
            G        G7
Oh you're a hard one.
            C               Cm      
I know that you've got your reasons.
      G               Em          
These things that are pleasin' you
    A7       D7  G   D
Can hurt you somehow.
          Em                Bm          
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
       C                 G    
She'll beat you if she's able.
             Em                 C                G   D
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.

Now it seems to me, some fine things
          C              G     
Have been laid upon your table.
        Em            A7  
But you only want the ones
               Am  D
That you can't get.
     G    
Desperado,
G7              C          Cm      
Ohhhh you ain't getting no younger.
     G             Em     
Your pain and your hunger,
        A7          D7   
They're driving you home.
    G           G7      
And freedom, oh freedom.
                 C           Cm      
Well that's just some people talking.
     G         Em                   A7    D7   G    D
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
           Em                   Bm          
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
    C                      G               
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
     Em               C                   G   D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
           Em              Bm            
And you're losing all your highs and lows
         C             G           
ain't it funny how the feeling goes
 Am  D D7
away...
     G    
Desperado,
G7            C            Cm     
Why don't you come to your senses?
     G              Em      A7       D7   
come down from your fences, open the gate.
          G      G7              C        Cm       
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
           G            Em       
You better let somebody love you.
 C            Am       
(let somebody love you)
           G       B7   Em                   
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo

before it's too..oooo.. late.
