[Intro]
G G7 C Cm6 G Em7 A7sus2 D
[Verse]
G G7 C Cm6
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
G Em A7 D7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
G Dm7/G C Cm6
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
G B7/D# Em7 A7 D7 G D/F#
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
C G
She'll beat you if she's able,
Em7 C G D/F#
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Em Bm C G
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Em A7 Am7/D
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
D7 G Dm7/G C (C/B C/A)
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
G Em7 A7 D7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
G Dm7/G C C (C/B C/A)
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
G B7 Em7 A7 D7 G D/F#
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
C G D/F#
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Em7 C G D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Em Bm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
C G Am7 D
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
D7 G (G/A G/B) C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
G D/F# Em A7 D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
G (G/A G/B) C Cm6
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G D/F# Em C G/B Am7
You better let somebody love you,
G B7 Em Am7 D7 G G7 C Cm6 G
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
