G   Em7  A7  D


[Verse]
    G  G7              C             Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
      G            Em7      A7        D7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
      G       G7                   C               Cm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons, 
      G        B7     Em7        A7         D7         G   D
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
 

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

[Verse] 
D D7 G  G7             C             Cm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
    G              Em7             A7          D7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
    G           G7                         C              Cm
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
    G    B7    Em7                  A7        D7   G   D 
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
 

[Chorus] 
           Em7                  Bm7
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
    C                   G            D
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
       Em7             Bm7
You're losin' all your highs and lows
         C                G          Am7  
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
 

[Verse]
D  D7 G    Dm7           C              Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
     G         D      Em  A7        D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
           G      Dm7             C             Cm
It may be rainin',  but there's a rainbow above you
            G      D         Em    
You better let somebody love you,
            G      B7   Em         C/D              G
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

[Outro]
G7  C  Cm  G
