Intro  G Dm C Cm6 G Em7 A7 D

      G   Dm     Dm7       C            Cm
Desperado    why don`t you come to your senses
         G          Em7        A7      D7
You been out ridin` fences for so long now
            G        Dm     Dm7             C                Cm
Oh you`re a hard one    But I know that you got your reasons
      G           B   Em7              A7       D7      G  D/F#
These things that are pleasin` you can hurt you somehow


          Em7               Bm7
Don`t you draw the queen of diamonds boy
       C                 G
She`ll beat you if she`s able
             Em7                C                G
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
       Em7              Bm7                   C              G
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
        Em            A7             Am7 D7
But you only want the ones you can`t get

     G    F              C
Desperado   oh you ain`t gettin` no younger
     G        D/F# Em7            A           D7
Your pain and your hunger they`re drivin` you home
    G          Dm       Dm7              C                  Cm (walk dn to G)
And freedom oh freedom  well that`s just some people talkin`
     G      B7 Em                   A         D  G    D
Your prison is walkin` through this world all a..lone


           Em7                  Bm7
Don`t your feet get cold in the winter time
    C                  G
The sky won`t snow and the sun won`t shine
     Em7              C                   G    D
It`s hard to tell the night time from the day
       Em              Bm7
You`re losin` all your highs and lows
         C             G            Am7  D D7
Ain`t it funny how the feelin` goes away


     G    Bm7b5               C               Cm
Desperado       why don`t you come to your senses
     G         D    Em7    A7               D
Come down from your fences    open the gate
          G      Bm7b5     G/B       C                Cm
It may be rainin`      but there`s a rainbow above you
           G       B7   Em7       C        G/B  Am7
You better let somebody love you  (let somebody love you)
           G/B     B7/D# Em7                     Em7b5/D G    Dm Dm7 C  Cm G
You better let somebody  love you before it`s too....... late
