          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

These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
            C                           G  D/F#
She'll beat you if she's able,

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
         G                  G7sus4                      C                        Cm
And freedom, oh 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
 
 
                Em                        Bm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
      C                                  G
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
      Em7                  C                          G    D/F#
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
           Em                Bm
You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

Desperado,     why don't you come to your senses
           G             D/F#    Em   A7            D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
                G      G7                    C                     Cm
It may be rainin',  but there's a rainbow above you
                G           B7       Em         C           G     Am7
You better let somebody love you,  (let somebody love you)
                  G          B7   Em           Am7       D7 
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
