      E  E7              A              Am 
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? 
 
         E            Dbm7     Gb7     B7 
You been out ridin' fences for so long now 
 
             E       E7            A               Am 
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons, 
 
      E           Ab7    Dbm7          Gb7      B7      E 
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow 
 
 
B         Dbm               Abm 
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, 
 
       A                 E 
She'll beat you if she's able, 
 
             Dbm7               A                E   B 
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet 
 
       Dbm              Abm                   A              E 
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table 
 
        Dbm           Gb7            B 
But you only want the ones you can't get 
 
 
  B7  E  E7             A             Am 
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger, 
 
     E               Dbm7          Gb7         B7 
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home 
 
    E      E7                  A             Am 
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin' 
 
     E      Ab7  Dbm7               Gb7        B7     E 
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone 
 
 
B          Dbm                  Abm 
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? 
 
    A                  E 
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine 
 
     Dbm7             A                   E    B 
It's hard to tell the night time from the day 
 
       Dbm             Abm 
You're losin' all your highs and lows 
 
         A             E             Gbm7 
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away 
 
 
B  B7 E  E7              A              Am 
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses 
 
     E         B      Dbm  Gb7       B7 
Come down from your fences, open the gate 
 
          E      E7               A           Am 
It may be rainin',  but there's a rainbow above you 
 
           E       Ab7  Dbm         A  Gbm7 
You better let somebody love you, 
 
           E       Ab7  Dbm        Gbm7      B7  E    E7   A   Am   E 
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
