[Intro]
E E7/B A Am E C#m7 F#7 B7
[Verse]
E Dm7add11 A Am
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
E C#m7 F#7 B7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
E Gadd11 A Am
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
E G#aug C#m7 F#7 B7 E B/D#
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
A E
She'll beat you if she's able,
C#m7 A E B/E B/D#
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
C#m G#m A E
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
C#m F#7 F#m7 B
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
E Dm7add11 A Am
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
E C#m7 F#7 B7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
E Dm7add11 A Am
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
E G#7 C#m7 F#7 B7 E B
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
A E
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
C#m7 A E B/D#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
C#m G#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
A E F#m7 Am7add11 B
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
E Dm7add11 A Am
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
E B/G# C#m F#7 B7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
E E7 A Am
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
E G#7 C#m A A/G# F#m7
You better let somebody love you,
E G#7 C#m A Am7add11 E
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
E E7/B A Am E
