Intro: C# C#7 | F# F#m6
       C# Bbm | Eb7 G#

     C#    C#9
Desperado,
              F#             F#m6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            C#           Bbm7
You’ve been out riding fences
    Eb7       G#7
For so long now.
             C#        C#sus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            F#                    F#m6
I know that you got your reasons,
      C#/G#       F/A   Bbm7
These things that are pleasing you
    Eb7      G#7      C# G#/C
Can hurt you somehow.

             Bbm
   Don’t you draw
                 Fm7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          F#                  C# C#/C
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                Bbm7
   You know the queen of hearts
      F#                C#
   Is always your best bet.
 G#/C     Bbm               Fm7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             F#             C#
   Have been laid upon your table,
           Bbm            Eb7
   But you only want the ones
                  Ebm7/G#
   That you can’t get.

G# G#7 C#  G#m7/C#
Desperado,
          F#                      Fm Ebm
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     C#       G#/C  Bbm
Your pain and your hunger,
        Eb7          G#7
They’re driving you home.
    C#           G#m7/C#
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
F#                   Fm
Some people talking,
Ebm  C#     F7/C  Bbm
Your prison is walking
             Eb7       G#7 C# G#/C
Through this world all alone.

              Bbm
   Don’t your feet get cold
          Fm7
   In the wintertime?
       F#
   The sky won’t snow
           C#        G#/C
   And the sun won’t shine,
        Bbm                F#
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            C#  G#/C
   From the day
          Bbm              Fm7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            F#             C#
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    Ebm7 Ebm7/G#
   Away?

G# G#7 C#  G#m7
Desperado,
              F#             F#m6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     C#        G#/C   Bbm   Eb7
Come down from your fences,
               G#7
Open the gate.
          C#       G#m7
It may be raining,
              F#              F#m6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           C#      F7/C   Bbm
You better let somebody love you
 F#      C#/F   Ebm
(Let somebody love you),
           C#/G#   F7/A  Bbm
You better let somebody love you
  Ebm7/G#        C#
Before it’s too late.
