Desper[A]ado, [A7]why don`t you [D]come to your [Dm]senses
You`ve been [A]out ridin` [F#m7]fences for [B7]so long [E7]now
Oh, you`re a [A]hard one,[A7] but I know that [D]you`ve got your [Dm]reasons
These [A]things that are [F#m7]pleasing you can [B7]hurt you [E7]some[A]how [E]

Don`t you [F#m]draw the queen of [C#m]diamonds, boy
Shall [D]beat you if she`s [A]able
You know the [F#m7]queen of hearts is [A]always your best [A]bet [E]
Now it [F#m]seems to me some [C#m]fine things
Have been [D]laid upon your [A]table
But you [F#m]only want the [B7]things that you can`t [E]get [E7 E]

Desperado, oh, you ain`t gettin` no younger
Your pain and your hunger they`re drivin` you home
And freedom, oh, freedom well that`s just some people talkin`
Your prison is walkin` through this world all alone

Don`t your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won`t snow and the sun won`t shine
It`s hard to tell the nighttime from the day

Youre [F#m]losin` all your [C#m]highs and lows
[D]Ain`t it funny how the [A]feelin` goes a[B7]way [E7 E]

Desper[A]ado,[A7] why don`t you [D]come to your [Dm]senses
Come [A]down from your [F#m]fences and [B7]open the[E7]gate
It may be[A]rainin`, [A7]but theres a [D]rainbow a[Dm]bove you
You better [A]let somebody [F#m]love you
You better [D]let somebody [Bm7]love you
You better [A]let somebody [F#m]love you
Be[Bm7]fore it`s [E7]too [A]late
