[C#]
[F#] Desperado,
[F#] why [B] don't you come to your [Bm] senses?
You've [F#] been out riding [D#m] fences [G#] for so long [C#] now.
Oh, [F#] you're a hard one, but I know [B] that you've got your [Bm] reasons.
[F#] These things [D] that are [D#m] pleasing you [G#] can hurt [C#] you [F#] somehow.
[C#]
[D#m] Don't you try the queen [A#m] of diamonds, boy.
[B] She'll beat you if she's [F#] able.
And you know [D#m] the queen of hearts [B] is always your best [F#] bet.
[C#]
[Fm] Now, [D#m] it seems to me some [A#m] fine things
have [B] been laid upon [F#] your table.
[D#m] But you only want [G#] the ones that you [B] can't get.
[C#]
[F#] Desperado, [G#m] oh, you [B] ain't getting no younger.
[F#] Your pain and your [D#m] hunger are [G#] driving you [C#] home.
[F#] And freedom, [G#m] oh, freedom, well, [B] that's just some people talking.
[Bm]
[F#] Your prison [C#] is [D#m] walking through this [G#] world [C#] all [F#] alone.
[C#] Don't [D#m] you think it cold in [A#m] the wintertime?
The [B] sky won't snow [F#] and the sun won't shine.
It's [D#m] hard to tell the [B] nighttime from the day.
[D#m] Angels and hoes, [A#m]
ain't it [B] funny how the [F#] feeling goes [G#m] away?
[C#]
[F#] Desperado, [G#m] why don't [B] you come to your [Bm] senses?
[F#] Come down [C#] from your [D#m] fences.
[G#] Open the gate.
[C#] It [F#] may be raining, [G#m] but there's [B] a rainbow above [Bm] you.
You [F#] better let [C#] somebody [D#m] love you.
Let [A#m] somebody love [G#m] you.
[F#] Better let [D] somebody [D#m] love you before [B]
[C#] it's too late.
[F#] [B]
[Bm]
