[Intro] A A7 D Dm A F#m B7 E7 [Verse 1]
    A     A7              D             Dm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

          A           F#m      B7      E7
You been out riding fences for so long now

              A        A7
Oh, you're a hard one

                  D             Dm
But I know that you've got your reasons

       A              F#m
These things that are pleasing you

    B7        E7 A    E
Can hurt you somehow
[Chorus 1]
          F#m                C#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

        D                 A
She'll beat you if she's able

             F#m                  D               A   E
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

       F#m               C#m
Now it seems to me, some fine things

           D              A
Have been laid upon your table

        F#m             B7                  Bm    E
But you only want the things that you can't get
[Verse 2]
      A    A7            D          Dm
Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no younger

      A            F#m             B7           E7
Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home

    A           A7
And freedom, oh freedom

                  D           Dm
Well, that's just some people talking

     A         F#m
Your prison is walking

              B7   E7    A     E
Through this world all alone
[Chorus 2]
               F#m                   C#m
And don't your feet get cold in the winter time

    D                    A
The sky won't snow, the sun won't shine

      F#m              D                   A    E
It's hard to tell the night time from the day

        F#m             C#m
You're losing all your highs and lows

          D            A             Bm   E   E7
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away
[Verse 3]
     A                    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 raining, but there's a rainbow above you

            A            F#m
You better let somebody love you

            D            Bm
You better let somebody love you

            A       C#7  F#m
You better let somebody love you

  Bm         E7  A
Before it's too late
