Song Title: Desperado
Artist:Eagles
Tabbed by: bmchrestoff (July 19, 2021 to July 23, 2021)
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Song is tabbed in key of D to allow a Capo to be clipped at the fifth fret
to transpose the song back to its original key of G.
2) The intro has been tabbed to provide an almost exact rendering of the
classic and instantly recognizable piano played by Glenn Frey himself.
3) This song has been tabbed many times but this approach w/ the Capo at the
5th will prove to be the most authentic sounding and at the same time
easiest to play as an acoustic solo act.
4) All chord shape names are relative to the Capo at the 5th fret.
