G                   C              Cm 
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ? 
         G            Em       A         D 
You been out ridin' fences for so long now 
             G                     C               Cm 
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,  
      G                  Em            A        D      G 
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow 


D 

         Em                Bm 
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, 
       C                 G 
She'll beat you if she's able, 
             Em                 C                G   D 
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet 
       Em               Bm                    C              G 
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table 
        Em            A              Am  
But you only want the ones you can't get 


D     G                 C             Cm 
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger, 
     G               Em            A           D 
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home 
    G      G                   C             Cm 
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' 
     G           Em                 A         D      G 
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone 


D 

         Em                   Bm 
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ? 
    C                  G 
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine 
     Em               C                   G    D 
It's hard to tell the night time from the day 
       Em              Bm 
You're losin' all your highs and lows 
         C             G             Am 
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away 

E     A                  D              Dm 
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses 
     A         E      F#m  B          E  
Come down from your fences, open the gate 
          A                         D           Dm 
It may be rainin', oh but there's a rainbow above you 
           A       C#    F#m         D  A  Bm  
You better let somebody love you, 
           A       C#    F#m         Bm        E   A 
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
