G   Em   A7  D
 
 
   [Verse 1]
        G  G9            C           
Desperado, why don't you come 
        Cm6
to your senses?
             G         
You been out ridin' 
    Em7    A7      D7
fences for so long now
             G
Oh, you're a hard one
      Gsus2            
But I know that you've 
C               Cm6 
got your reasons
      G/D              
These things that are 
  Em7
pleasin' you
    A7       D7      G    D5
Can hurt you somehow
 
 
   [Chorus]
          Em                  
Don't you draw the queen 
      Bm7
of diamonds, boy
       C                     G  G/F#
She'll beat you if she's able
         Em7                
Know the queen of hearts is 
C                 G  D5
always your best bet
         Em                 
Well, it seems to me, 
          Bm7
some fine things
          C              G
Have been laid upon your table
        Em                   
But you only want the things
A7                 C/D
 that you can't get
 
 
   [Verse 2]
D  D7  G   Dm7               
Desperado, you know you 
C                       Bm
ain't gettin' no younger
Am   G        D5      Em  
Your pain and your hunger, 
A7          D7
drivin' you home
    G           Dm7
And freedom, oh freedom
                  C                  
Well, that's just some 
              Bm
people talkin'
Am   G      B7     Em
Your prison is walking
             A7        D7    G
Through this world all alone
 
 
   [Chorus]
D5             Em              
And don't your feet get 
            Bm7
cold in the winter time?
    C                      
The sky won't snow, and the 
G         D5
sun won't shine
     Em                    
It's hard to tell the 
      C             G
night-time from the day
       Em               
You're losin' all your 
Bm7
highs and lows
         C             
Ain't it funny how the 
G            Am7  Am7/D
feelin' goes away?
 
 
   [Verse 3]
D  D7   G  Dm7           
Desperado, why don't you 
C             Cm6
come to your senses?
     G         D5      Em   
Come down from your fences, 
A7           D7
open the gate
          G        Dm7        
It may be rainin', but there's 
C                  Cm6
a rainbow above you
           G       B7        Em  
You better let somebody love you 
 C    G/B      Am
(let somebody love you)
G/D     B7        Em   
Let somebody love you, 
Am7             G
before it's too late
 
 
   [Outro]
G   G7   C   Cm6    G
