      A  A7              D            Dm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
         A          F#m        B7      E7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
             A       A7            D           Dm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons, 
      A               F#m              B7       E7  A
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow


Chorus 1:
          F#m                C#m
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
       D                 A
She'll beat you if she's able,
             F#m                D                A
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
       F#               C#m                   D              A
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
        B7                                  E7
But you only want the things that you can't get


Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone


Chorus 2:
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you 
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
