Intro: F F7 | Bb Bbm6
       F Dm | G7 C

     F     F9
Desperado,
              Bb             Bbm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            F            Dm7
You’ve been out riding fences
    G7        C7
For so long now.
             F         Fsus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            Bb                    Bbm6
I know that you got your reasons,
      F/C         A/C#  Dm7
These things that are pleasing you
    G7       C7       F C/E
Can hurt you somehow.

             Dm
   Don’t you draw
                 Am7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          Bb                  F  F/E
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                Dm7
   You know the queen of hearts
      Bb                F
   Is always your best bet.
 C/E      Dm                Am7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             Bb             F
   Have been laid upon your table,
           Dm             G7
   But you only want the ones
                  Gm7/C
   That you can’t get.

C C7 F     Cm7/F
Desperado,
          Bb                      Am Gm
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger,
     F        C/E   Dm
Your pain and your hunger,
        G7           C7
They’re driving you home.
    F            Cm7/F
And freedom, oh, freedom,
Well, that’s just
Bb                   Am
Some people talking,
Gm   F      A7/E  Dm
Your prison is walking
             G7        C7 F   C/E
Through this world all alone.

              Dm
   Don’t your feet get cold
          Am7
   In the wintertime?
       Bb
   The sky won’t snow
           F         C/E
   And the sun won’t shine,
        Dm                 Bb
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            F   C/E
   From the day
          Dm               Am7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            Bb             F
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    Gm7 Gm7/C
   Away?

C C7 F     Cm7
Desperado,
              Bb             Bbm6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     F         C/E    Dm    G7
Come down from your fences,
               C7
Open the gate.
          F        Cm7
It may be raining,
              Bb              Bbm6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           F       A7/E   Dm
You better let somebody love you
 Bb      F/A    Gm
(Let somebody love you),
           F/C     A7/C# Dm
You better let somebody love you
  Gm7/C          F
Before it’s too late.
