[Intro]
D# D#7/A# G# G#m D# Cm7 F7 A#7
[Verse]
D# Dm7add11 G# G#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
D# Cm7 F7 A#7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
D# Gadd11 G# G#m
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
D# Gaug Cm7 F7 A#7 D# A#/D
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Cm Gm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
G# D#
She'll beat you if she's able,
Cm7 G# D# A#/D# A#/D
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Cm Gm G# D#
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Cm F7 Fm7 A#
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
D# Dm7add11 G# G#m
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
D# Cm7 F7 A#7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
D# Dm7add11 G# G#m
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
D# G7 Cm7 F7 A#7 D# A#
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Cm Gm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
G# D#
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Cm7 G# D# A#/D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Cm Gm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
G# D# Fm7 Am7add11 A#
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
D# Dm7add11 G# G#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
D# A#/G Cm F7 A#7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
D# D#7 G# G#m
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
D# G7 Cm G# G#/G Fm7
You better let somebody love you,
D# G7 Cm G# Am7add11 D#
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
D# D#7/A# G# G#m D#
