Sol Sol7 Do Dom Sol Mim La7 Re7

    Sol    Sol7          Do           Dom
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
            Sol        Mim
You've been out ridin' fences,
    La7       Re7
for so long  now.
            Sol
Oh you're a hard one.
            Do              Dom
I know that you've got your reasons.
      Sol             Mim
These things that are pleasin' you
    La7      Re7  Sol  Re
Can hurt you somehow.

          Mim               Sim
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
       Do                Sol   Sol7
She'll beat you if she's able.
             Mim                Do              Sol  Re
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
       Mim               Sim
Now it seems to me, some fine things
          Do             Sol
Have been laid upon your table.
        Mim           La7
But you only want the ones
               Lam  Re
That you can't get.

     Sol   Sol7            Do
Desperado Oh you ain't getting no younger.
     Sol           Mim
Your pain and your hunger,
        La7         Re7
They're driving you home.
    Sol         Sol7
And freedom, oh freedom.
                 Do             Dom
Well that s just some people talking.
     Sol       Mim                  La7        Sol  Re
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

           Mim                  Sim
Don t your feet get cold in the winter time?
    Do                     Sol
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
     Mim              Do                  Sol  Re
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
           Mim             Sim
And you're losing all your highs and lows
         Do            Sol            Lam  Re  Re7
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes  away

     Sol    Sol7          Do           Dom
Desperado Why don't you come to your senses?
     Sol            Mim     La7      Re7
come down from your fences, open the gate.
          Sol   Sol7             Do           Dom
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
           Sol          Mim      Do           Lam
You better let somebody love you -let somebody love you-
           Sol     Si7  Mim
You better let somebody love you
  Lam       Re7     Sol Sol7 Do Dom Sol
before it's to late.
