[Intro]
F# F#7/C# B Bm F# D#m7 G#7 C#7
[Verse]
F# Dm7add11 B Bm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
F# D#m7 G#7 C#7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
F# Gadd11 B Bm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
F# A#aug D#m7 G#7 C#7 F# C#/F
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
B F#
She'll beat you if she's able,
D#m7 B F# C#/F# C#/F
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
D#m A#m B F#
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
D#m G#7 G#m7 C#
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
F# Dm7add11 B Bm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
F# D#m7 G#7 C#7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
F# Dm7add11 B Bm
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
F# A#7 D#m7 G#7 C#7 F# C#
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
B F#
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
D#m7 B F# C#/F
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
D#m A#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
B F# G#m7 Am7add11 C#
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
F# Dm7add11 B Bm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
F# C#/A# D#m G#7 C#7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
F# F#7 B Bm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
F# A#7 D#m B B/A# G#m7
You better let somebody love you,
F# A#7 D#m B Am7add11 F#
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
F# F#7/C# B Bm F#
