Desper[G]ado [G7], why don’t you [C]come to your senses[Cm]?
You been [G]out ridin’ [Em7]fences for [A7]so long now[D7]
Oh, you’re a [G]hard one,[G7] I know that [C]you got your [Cm]reasons ,
These [G]things that [B7]are pleasin’[Em7] you can [A7]hurt you [D7]somehow
[G]
[D]Don’t you [Em]draw the queen of [Bm]diamonds boy,
She’ll [C]beat you if she’s [G]able,
You know the [Em7]queen of hearts is [C]always your best [G]bet [D]
Now it [Em]seems to me some [Bm]fine things have been [C]laid upon your
[G]table
But you [Em]only want the [A7]ones you can’t [Am7]get
[D]Desperado[D7], [G7] oh you ain’t [C]gettin’ no [Cm]younger,
Your [G]pain and your [Em7]hunger, they’re [A7]drivin’ you [D7]home
And [G]freedom,[G7] oh freedom, well, that’s just [C]some people [Cm]talkin’
Your [G]prison [B7]is [Em7]walkin’ through this [A7]world all [D7]alone [G]
[D]Don’t your [Em]feet get cold in the [Bm]winter time ?
The [C]sky won’t snow and [G]the sun won’t shine
It’s [Em7]hard to tell the [C]night time from the [G]day [D]
You’re [Em]losin’ all your [Bm]highs and lows
Ain’t it [C]funny how the [G]feelin’ goes [Am7]away
[D]Des[D7]pera[G]do [G7], why don’t you [C]come to your [Cm]senses
Come [G]down from [D]your [Em]fences, [A7] open the [D7]gate
It may be [G]rainin’, [G7] but there’s a [C]rainbow above [Cm]you
You better [G]let [B7]somebody [Em]love you, [C]let [Em]somebody [Am7]love you
You better [G]let [B7]somebody [Em]love you [Am7]before it’s [D7]too [G]late
