From "DESPERADO". 1973.

[INTRO] Dsus4 D - Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4 A (2 times)

    Dsus4    D    Dsus4        D         Asus4   A    Asus4
He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
  A           Dsus4  D   Dsus4            D              Asus4   A   Asus4
He kind of had a craving for something no one else could see
 A                 Dsus4 D   Dsus4             D      Asus4    A   Asus4
They said that he was crazy, the kind that no lady should meet
A            Dsus4  D   Dsus4          D          Asus4     A    Asus4   A
He ran off to the city, and wandered around in the street

     Dsus4  E5    E   A/E  E  E5  E
He wants to dance,              oh yeah!
A/E       E  E5   E  A/E  E  E5  E
He wants to sing,              oh yeah!
A/E      G                             D                      Asus4     A
He wants to see the lights aflashing, and listen to the thundering

               Dsus4 D    Dsus4       D          Asus4    A    Asus4
He saw it in a win___dow, a mark of a new kind of man
A             Dsus4      D   Dsus4     D            Asus4    A    Asus4
He kind of liked the feeling, so shiny smooth in his hand
A              C     G      C                G            D       A
He took it to the country, and practised for days without rest
                Dsus4   D   Dsus4             D             Asus4  A  Asus4  A
And then one day he felt it, he knew he could stand with the best

         E5      E  A/E  E  E5  E
They got respect,             oh yeah!
A/E        E   E5  E  A/E  E  E5  E
He wants the same,              oh yeah!
A/E      G                                 D                           Asus4   A
And it's a certain kind of fool who likes to hear the sound of his own name

             Dsus4 D     Dsus4          D       Asus4   A   Asus4
A poster on a store front, a picture of a wanted man
 A         Dsus4 D Dsus4            D               Asus4   A
He had a reputation, spreading like fire through the land
                  C  G      C               G          D    A
It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way
                 Dsus4 D  Dsus4                  D  Asus4     A7
It wasn't for the running, but now he's running ev'ryday.
