[Chorus 1]
      D  D7sus2          G                     Gm6
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Gm6       D           Bm7       E7        A7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
A7             D    D7             G                    Gm (Gsus2 Gsus4)
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
Gm     D          F#7    Bm7           E7      A7      D
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow


[Verse 1]
A7/C#     Bm                F#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
F#m    G                      D  F#m
She'll beat you if she's able,
F#m          Bm7      Bm          G               D  A7
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
A7     Bm                F#m                   G             D
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
D       Bm            E7               Em7
But you only want the ones you can't get


[Chorus 2]
A7     D  Am7        G              Gm     (D Em)
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
Em   D        A      Bm7           E7            A7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
A7  D           Am7                        G                  Gm
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
Gm   D       F#7   Bm7              E7        A7     D    A7
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone


[Verse 2]
(A7)       Bm                   F#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
F#m G                      D         F#m7
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
F#m7 Bm7                G                 D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
D      Bm                F#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
F#m      G               D             Em7
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away


[Chorus 3]
Asus4  A7          D Am7   F#m7-5    G               Gm6
            Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Gm6  D              F#7/A#  Bm  E7              A7
Come down from your fences,       open the gate
A7        D      Am7    F#m7-5    G               Gm6
It may be rainin',  but there's a rainbow above you
Gm6        D       F#7/C   Bm      G       D/F#   Em7
You better let somebody love you, (let somebody love you)
Em7        D       F#7/C  Bm   E   A7sus4        D
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
