[Intro]
D D7/A G Gm D Bm7 E7 A7
[Verse]
D Dm7add11 G Gm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
D Bm7 E7 A7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
D Gadd11 G Gm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
D F#aug Bm7 E7 A7 D A/C#
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
G D
She'll beat you if she's able,
Bm7 G D A/D A/C#
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Bm F#m G D
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Bm E7 Em7 A
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
D Dm7add11 G Gm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
D Bm7 E7 A7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
D Dm7add11 G Gm
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
D F#7 Bm7 E7 A7 D A
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
G D
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Bm7 G D A/C#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Bm F#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
G D Em7 Am7add11 A
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
D Dm7add11 G Gm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
D A/F# Bm E7 A7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
D D7 G Gm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
D F#7 Bm G G/F# Em7
You better let somebody love you,
D F#7 Bm G Am7add11 D
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
D D7/A G Gm D
