|(G) / (G7) / |(Em) / (D) - - -

(Chorus)
Desper-(G)ado, (G7) why don't you (C)come to your senses? (Cm)
You been (G)out ridin' fences (A)so long now (D)
You're a (G)hard one, (G7) I know that (C)you got your reasons (Cm)
These (G)things that are pleas-(Em)in' you, can (D)hurt you somehow (G) (D) 

(Verse)
Don't you (G)draw the queen of (D)diamonds, boy
She'll (C)beat you if she's (G)able
You know the (C)queen of hearts is always your best bet (D)
Now it (Em)seems to me, some (C)fine things
Have been (C)laid upon your (G)table
But you (Em)only want the (A)ones that you can't (D)get

(Chorus)
Desper-(G)ado, (G7) oh, you ain't (C)gettin' no younger (Cm)
Your (G)pain and your (Em)hunger, they're (A)drivin' you home (D)
And (G)freedom, oh (G7)freedom, well, that's just (C)some people talkin' (Cm)
Your (G)prison is (Em)walking through this (A)world (D)all a-(G)lone (D)

(Verse)
Don't your (Em)feet get cold in the (D)winter time
The (C)sky won't snow, and the (G)Sun won't shine
It's (Em)hard to tell the (C)night time from the (G)day (D)
And you're (Em)losin' all your (D)highs and lows
Ain't it (C)funny how the (G)feeling goes a-(Am)way? (D)

(Chorus)
Desper-(G)ado, (G7) why don't you (C)come to your senses? (Cm)
Come (G)down from your fences, open the gate
It may be (G)rainin', (G7) but there's a (C)rainbow above you (Cm)
You better (G)let somebody love (G7) you. (C)let somebody (D)love you
