[Intro]
C# C#7/G# F# F#m C# A#m7 D#7 G#7
[Verse]
C# Dm7add11 F# F#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
C# A#m7 D#7 G#7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
C# Gadd11 F# F#m
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
C# Faug A#m7 D#7 G#7 C# G#/C
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
F# C#
She'll beat you if she's able,
A#m7 F# C# G#/C# G#/C
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
A#m Fm F# C#
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
A#m D#7 D#m7 G#
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
C# Dm7add11 F# F#m
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
C# A#m7 D#7 G#7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
C# Dm7add11 F# F#m
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
C# F7 A#m7 D#7 G#7 C# G#
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
F# C#
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
A#m7 F# C# G#/C
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
A#m Fm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
F# C# D#m7 Am7add11 G#
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
C# Dm7add11 F# F#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
C# G#/F A#m D#7 G#7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
C# C#7 F# F#m
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
C# F7 A#m F# F#/F D#m7
You better let somebody love you,
C# F7 A#m F# Am7add11 C#
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
