I've seen the Joshua [D] tree, got down on my [A] knees, heard the virgin mother [E] a prayer.
I walked on glass back [D]-footed and across the devil's backbone.
[A] I've done everything [E] I swore, [Em]
but [E] hey, what [D] can I say?
[A] I'm a [E] desperate man.
Hey, hey, what [D] can I say?
[A] I'm a [E] desperate man.

Fortune [A] [E] [Em]
[E] teller told [D] me, no more last chances, [A] you got no [E] future at all.
But I ain't listening [D] to some black-hearted [G] gypsy [A] who ain't got a crucifix [E] on her wall.
Hey, hey, what [D] can I say?
[A] I'm a [E] desperate man.
Hey, hey, what [D] can I say?

[E] I'm a half-cocked foal, [D] tail scarred, and [A] stone-hilled.
Don't push me, I'm a [E] grown-ass man.
I'm flashing like [D] caution, careful who you cross, [A] son.
I'm reckless, just to [E] come back again.
Hey, hey, what [D] can I say?
[A] I'm a desperate [E] man.
Hey, hey, what [D] can I say?
[A] I'm a desperate [E] man.
