     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.

       Em                Bm
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

 Am  D   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.
