De-de-de-desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
GEmAD
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
GC
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
GEmAG
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
EmBm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
CG
She'll beat you if she's able,
EmCGG/F#
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
EmBmCG
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
EmA
But you only want the ones you can't get
GC
De-de-de-desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
GEmAD
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
GC
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
GEmAG
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
EmBm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
CG
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
EmCGG/F#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
EmBm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
CGAD
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away Away
GG/F#C
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
GEmAD
Come down from your fences, open the gate
GG/F#C
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
GG/F#EmA
You better let somebody love you,
GG/F#Em
You better let somebody love you... before it's too?? three, four!
