Desperado 1973 This is a great upbeat song that's really easy to play. So I hope you have fun with it, and good luck. A few notes: there are 2 guitars most of the time, so there will be two stacked guitar parts. I hope you can read them. Also, the chords during the verse are just strummed, so make up a pattern that sounds good.

Verse 1: strum chords E Oh, my, don't the sky look spacious E With the stars all shinin' down A Well, I can hear the night wind howlin' D It's a high and lonesome sound E And I ain't had a woman in so long E I can't feed my starvin' soul A D Come on, saddle up, boys, we're gonna ride into town E We're gonna get a little out of control

Verse 2 E There's a card game in the corner E And the barmaid smiled at me A Well, I tipped her a silver dollar and D she brought me a drink for free E All the town-folk call her the cheap one E And the gamblers call her the hole A D Come on, set 'em up again, I got me a friend E And I think I'm gettin' out of control Repeat Interlude

Then a cheesy ending, try slide-downs from a barred E chord, 7th fret
