Intro: C C7 | F Fm6
       C Am | D7 G

     C     C9
Desperado,
              F              Fm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            C            Am7
You’ve been out riding fences
    D7        G7
For so long now.
             C         Csus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            F                     Fm6
I know that you got your reasons,
      C/G         E/G#  Am7
These things that are pleasing you
    D7       G7       C G/B
Can hurt you somehow.

             Am
   Don’t you draw
                 Em7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          F                   C  C/B
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                Am7
   You know the queen of hearts
      F                 C
   Is always your best bet.
 G/B      Am                Em7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             F              C
   Have been laid upon your table,
           Am             D7
   But you only want the ones
                  Dm7/G
   That you can’t get.

G G7 C     Gm7/C
Desperado,
          F                       Em Dm
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     C        G/B   Am
Your pain and your hunger,
        D7           G7
They’re driving you home.
    C            Gm7/C
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
F                    Em
Some people talking,
Dm   C      E7/B  Am
Your prison is walking
             D7        G7 C   G/B
Through this world all alone.

              Am
   Don’t your feet get cold
          Em7
   In the wintertime?
       F
   The sky won’t snow
           C         G/B
   And the sun won’t shine,
        Am                 F
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            C   G/B
   From the day
          Am               Em7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            F              C
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    Dm7 Dm7/G
   Away?

G G7 C     Gm7
Desperado,
              F              Fm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     C         G/B    Am    D7
Come down from your fences,
               G7
Open the gate.
          C        Gm7
It may be raining,
              F               Fm6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           C       E7/B   Am
You better let somebody love you
 F       C/E    Dm
(Let somebody love you),
           C/G     E7/G# Am
You better let somebody love you
  Dm7/G          C
Before it’s too late.
