[Verse]
G G7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
G Em7 A7 D7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
G G7 C Cm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
G B7 Em7 A7 D7 G D
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Em7 Bm7
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
C G D
She'll beat you if she's able,
Em7 C G D
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Em7 Bm7 C G
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Em7 A7 C/D
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
D D7 G G7 C Cm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
G Em7 A7 D7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
G G7 C Cm
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
G B7 Em7 A7 D7 G D
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Em7 Bm7
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
C G D
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Em7 C G D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Em7 Bm7
You're losin' all your highs and lows
C G Am7
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
D D7 G Dm7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
G D Em A7 D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
G Dm7 C Cm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G D Em
You better let somebody love you,
G B7 Em C/D G
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
