Intro: B B7 | E Em6
       B G#m | C#7 F#

     B     B9
Desperado,
              E              Em6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
            B            G#m7
You’ve been out riding fences
    C#7       F#7
For so long now.
             B         Bsus4add9
Oh, you’re a hard one,
            E                     Em6
I know that you got your reasons,
      B/F#        Eb/G  G#m7
These things that are pleasing you
    C#7      F#7      B F#/Bb
Can hurt you somehow.

             G#m
   Don’t you draw
                 Ebm7
   The queen of diamonds, boy,
          E                   B  B/Bb
   She’ll beat you if she’s able
                G#m7
   You know the queen of hearts
      E                 B
   Is always your best bet.
 F#/Bb    G#m               Ebm7
   Now it seems to me some fine things
             E              B
   Have been laid upon your table,
           G#m            C#7
   But you only want the ones
                  C#m7/F#
   That you can’t get.

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

              G#m
   Don’t your feet get cold
          Ebm7
   In the wintertime?
       E
   The sky won’t snow
           B         F#/Bb
   And the sun won’t shine,
        G#m                E
   It’s hard to tell the nighttime
            B   F#/Bb
   From the day
          G#m              Ebm7
   You’re losing all your highs and lows.
            E              B
   Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
    C#m7 C#m7/F#
   Away?

F# F#7 B   F#m7
Desperado,
              E              Em6
Why don’t you come to your senses?
     B         F#/Bb  G#m   C#7
Come down from your fences,
               F#7
Open the gate.
          B        F#m7
It may be raining,
              E               Em6
But there’s a rainbow above you.
           B       Eb7/Bb G#m
You better let somebody love you
 E       B/Eb   C#m
(Let somebody love you),
           B/F#    Eb7/G G#m
You better let somebody love you
  C#m7/F#        B
Before it’s too late.
