Intro: E E7 | A Am6
       E C#m | F#7 B

     E     E9
Desperado,
              A              Am6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            E            C#m7
You’ve been out riding fences
    F#7       B7
For so long now.
             E         Esus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            A                     Am6
I know that you got your reasons,
      E/B         G#/C  C#m7
These things that are pleasing you
    F#7      B7       E B/Eb
Can hurt you somehow.

             C#m
   Don’t you draw
                 G#m7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          A                   E  E/Eb
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                C#m7
   You know the queen of hearts
      A                 E
   Is always your best bet.
 B/Eb     C#m               G#m7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             A              E
   Have been laid upon your table,
           C#m            F#7
   But you only want the ones
                  F#m7/B
   That you can’t get.

B B7 E     Bm7/E
Desperado,
          A                       G#m F#m
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     E        B/Eb  C#m
Your pain and your hunger,
        F#7          B7
They’re driving you home.
    E            Bm7/E
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
A                    G#m
Some people talking,
F#m  E      G#7/Eb C#m
Your prison is walking
             F#7       B7 E   B/Eb
Through this world all alone.

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

B B7 E     Bm7
Desperado,
              A              Am6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     E         B/Eb   C#m   F#7
Come down from your fences,
               B7
Open the gate.
          E        Bm7
It may be raining,
              A               Am6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           E       G#7/Eb C#m
You better let somebody love you
 A       E/G#   F#m
(Let somebody love you),
           E/B     G#7/C C#m
You better let somebody love you
  F#m7/B         E
Before it’s too late.
