[Intro]

A A7 D Dm

[Verse 1]

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
