[Intro]
F F7/C A# A#m F Dm7 G7 C7
[Verse]
F Dm7add11 A# A#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
F Dm7 G7 C7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
F Gadd11 A# A#m
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
F Aaug Dm7 G7 C7 F C/E
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
A# F
She'll beat you if she's able,
Dm7 A# F C/F C/E
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Dm Am A# F
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Dm G7 Gm7 C
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
F Dm7add11 A# A#m
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
F Dm7 G7 C7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
F Dm7add11 A# A#m
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
F A7 Dm7 G7 C7 F C
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
A# F
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Dm7 A# F C/E
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Dm Am
You're losin' all your highs and lows
A# F Gm7 Am7add11 C
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
F Dm7add11 A# A#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
F C/A Dm G7 C7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
F F7 A# A#m
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
F A7 Dm A# A#/A Gm7
You better let somebody love you,
F A7 Dm A# Am7add11 F
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
F F7/C A# A#m F
