Intro: D D7 | G Gm6
       D Bm | E7 A

     D     D9
Desperado,
              G              Gm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            D            Bm7
You’ve been out riding fences
    E7        A7
For so long now.
             D         Dsus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            G                     Gm6
I know that you got your reasons,
      D/A         F#/Bb Bm7
These things that are pleasing you
    E7       A7       D A/C#
Can hurt you somehow.

             Bm
   Don’t you draw
                 F#m7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          G                   D  D/C#
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                Bm7
   You know the queen of hearts
      G                 D
   Is always your best bet.
 A/C#     Bm                F#m7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             G              D
   Have been laid upon your table,
           Bm             E7
   But you only want the ones
                  Em7/A
   That you can’t get.

A A7 D     Am7/D
Desperado,
          G                       F#m Em
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     D        A/C#  Bm
Your pain and your hunger,
        E7           A7
They’re driving you home.
    D            Am7/D
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
G                    F#m
Some people talking,
Em   D      F#7/C# Bm
Your prison is walking
             E7        A7 D   A/C#
Through this world all alone.

              Bm
   Don’t your feet get cold
          F#m7
   In the wintertime?
       G
   The sky won’t snow
           D         A/C#
   And the sun won’t shine,
        Bm                 G
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            D   A/C#
   From the day
          Bm               F#m7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            G              D
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    Em7 Em7/A
   Away?

A A7 D     Am7
Desperado,
              G              Gm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     D         A/C#   Bm    E7
Come down from your fences,
               A7
Open the gate.
          D        Am7
It may be raining,
              G               Gm6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           D       F#7/C# Bm
You better let somebody love you
 G       D/F#   Em
(Let somebody love you),
           D/A     F#7/Bb Bm
You better let somebody love you
  Em7/A          D
Before it’s too late.
