[Verse]
C Dm7add11 F Fm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
C Am7 D7 G7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
C Gadd11 F Fm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
C Eaug Am7 D7 G7 C G/B
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Am Em
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
F C
She'll beat you if she's able,
Am7 F C G/C G/B
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Am Em F C
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Am D7 Dm7 G
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
C Dm7add11 F Fm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
C Am7 D7 G7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
C Dm7add11 F Fm
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
C E7 Am7 D7 G7 C G
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Am Em
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
F C
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Am7 F C G/B
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Am Em
You're losin' all your highs and lows
F C Dm7 Am7add11 G
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
C Dm7add11 F Fm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
C G/E Am D7 G7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
C C7 F Fm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
C E7 Am F F/E Dm7
You better let somebody love you,
C E7 Am F Am7add11 C
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
