Judy Collins - Desperado
[Verse 1]
C F Fm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
C Am D G
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
C F Fm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons
C Am D C G
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
F C
She'll beat you if she's able
Am F C G
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Am Em F C
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Am D Dm7 G
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse 3]
C F Fm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger
C Am D G
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
C F Fm
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
C D C G
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Verse 4]
Am Em
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
F C
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Am F C G
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Am Em
You're losin' all your highs and lows
F C Dm7 G
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse 5]
C F Fm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
C Am D G
Come down from your fences and open the gate
C F Fm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
C Am
You better let somebody love you
F C Dm7
Let somebody love you
C Am
You better let somebody love you
G C F Fm
Before it's too late
C Am D7
You better let somebody love you
F C
Before it's too late
