Intro: A A7 | D Dm6
       A F#m | B7 E

     A     A9
Desperado,
              D              Dm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            A            F#m7
You’ve been out riding fences
    B7        E7
For so long now.
             A         Asus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            D                     Dm6
I know that you got your reasons,
      A/E         C#/F  F#m7
These things that are pleasing you
    B7       E7       A E/G#
Can hurt you somehow.

             F#m
   Don’t you draw
                 C#m7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          D                   A  A/G#
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                F#m7
   You know the queen of hearts
      D                 A
   Is always your best bet.
 E/G#     F#m               C#m7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             D              A
   Have been laid upon your table,
           F#m            B7
   But you only want the ones
                  Bm7/E
   That you can’t get.

E E7 A     Em7/A
Desperado,
          D                       C#m Bm
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     A        E/G#  F#m
Your pain and your hunger,
        B7           E7
They’re driving you home.
    A            Em7/A
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
D                    C#m
Some people talking,
Bm   A      C#7/G# F#m
Your prison is walking
             B7        E7 A   E/G#
Through this world all alone.

              F#m
   Don’t your feet get cold
          C#m7
   In the wintertime?
       D
   The sky won’t snow
           A         E/G#
   And the sun won’t shine,
        F#m                D
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            A   E/G#
   From the day
          F#m              C#m7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            D              A
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    Bm7 Bm7/E
   Away?

E E7 A     Em7
Desperado,
              D              Dm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     A         E/G#   F#m   B7
Come down from your fences,
               E7
Open the gate.
          A        Em7
It may be raining,
              D               Dm6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           A       C#7/G# F#m
You better let somebody love you
 D       A/C#   Bm
(Let somebody love you),
           A/E     C#7/F F#m
You better let somebody love you
  Bm7/E          A
Before it’s too late.
