[Verse 1]
[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]
Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your
[Cm]
reasons,
[G] [B7] [Em7] [A7] [D7] [G]
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
[D] [Em] [Bm]
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
[C] [G]
She'll beat you if she's able,
[Em7] [C] [G] [D]
Know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
[Em] [Bm] [C]
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your
[G]
table
[Em] [A7] [Am7]
But you only want the ones that you can't get
[Verse 2]
[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]
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
[D] [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]
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
[Em] [Bm]
You're losin' all your highs and lows
[C] [G] [Am7]
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse 3]
[D] [D7] [G] [G7] [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] [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, you better let somebody love
you
[G] [B7] [Em] [Am7] [D7] [G]
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
