Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
          C            Am       Dm          G
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
             C
Oh, you're a hard one
Dm     C           F                 Fm
But I know that you got your reasons
C                         Am
These things that are pleasin' you
     G
Can hurt you somehow

C E

Verse:
          Am               Em
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
       F                 C
She'll beat you if she's able
F                       G
You know the queen of hearts
             C
Is your best bet

E
         Am               Em
And it seems to me, some fine things
          F              C
Have been laid upon your table
D
But you only want the ones

That you can't get

G

Desperado, well, you ain't gettin' no younger
     C                 Am          Dm               G
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you wild
         C                     F               Fm
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
     F         Am                   G
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

C E
               Am                   Em
And don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
         F                      C
When the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
     F                       G            C   E
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Am                     Em
You're losin' all your highs and lows
         F              C
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Come down from your fences and open the gate
          C                     F                Fm
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
