Verse:
            G
I wandered into this 'ol cantina
        C                       G
Just a little north of old Mexico
           G
I saw you dancin' with a pool cue
        C                                 D
Pretty bourbon eyes and hair as black as coal

Pre-Chorus:
     Em                                  D
You smiled and leaned across that green felt
            Em                                   D
You said I play for keeps and you made my heart melt


Chorus:
      C
Desperada
                                     G
You know how to put a cowboy on his knees
      C
Desperada
                                 D
Won't you let me up now, pretty please


Verse:
             G
Somehow you left me the cash to cover
        C                             G
Pickin' up the tab for your favorite bottle
            G
You were a smooth one and burned like fire
       C                                  D
As we shared a dance and sipped that Reposado


Pre-Chorus:
           Em                                      D
We walked through the square to the hotel right across
       Em                                      D
And behind closed doors, I slipped your boots off


Chorus:
      C
Desperada
                                     G
You know how to put a cowboy on his knees
      C
Desperada
                                 D
Won't you let me up now, pretty please
        G     D  C
Pretty please


Instrumental:
G  D  C


Break:
              Em             D
That rooster crowin' my eyes open
        C
Woke me to all I could find
           Em               D
A goodbye note, a lipstick kiss
           C                   D
And underneath just your name signed


Chorus:
      G
Desperada
                D                C
You smiled and leaned right into me
                       G
You played for keeps
       D      C
And I felt it


Outro:
      G
Desperada
             D                  C
We shared a dance, you took my hand
                                 G
Behind closed doors you took my heart
D         C
 And kept it
