A A7 D Dm

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

A F#m B7 E7

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

A A7 D Dm

Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,

A F#m B7 E7 A

These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

Chorus 1:

F#m C#m

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,

D A

She'll beat you if she's able,

F#m D A

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

F# C#m D A

Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table

B7 E7

But you only want the things that you can't get

Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

Chorus 2:

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

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

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you,

You better let somebody love you

You better let somebody love you before it's too late
