Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
G G6 A7 D7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
G G7 C Cm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons
G Em A7 G
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
Em Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
C G
She'll beat you if she's able
Em C G D
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Em Bm C G
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Em A7 Am7 D
But you only want the ones you can't get
G G7 C Cm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
G G6 A7 G D
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
Em Bm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

You're losin' all your highs and lows
C G Am7 D
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
G G7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G Em
You better let somebody love you,
G B7 Em
You better let somebody love you
Am7 D7 G Cm G
Before it's too late
