Chords for Javier Colon sings Desperado at Deer Park NY on July 9, 2011

And I was like, guys, there's nothing wrong with my head.
I just like to [Bb] wear hats from time to time,
[C] or more [Am] often than not, I guess.
[A] So yeah, but I'm not afraid to take it off.
It's not like, you know, it's like,
you won't take off this [Bb] hat.
So yeah, so I did it.
And then people freaked out and [Db] left me alone.
And it was cool. _
_ [G] _ _ _ [N] So this song is another old song that a lot of you
might not know.
How many of you in the audience are [Eb] over 25?
_ _ _ [G]
And those under 25?
_ _ [Eb] _ Awesome.
[G] All right, so I'm really old.
It's great.
[N] _ _ [C]
Or maybe it's just [Gb] that the younger folks are
louder [G] than the older folks.
_ [N] How many are over 25 again?
Like, I really like your opinion.
_ _ All right, and how many under 25?
_ Older folks got it that time.
I was like, that's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, so _ this [G] song is a song that some of you might know. _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Desperado?
Sounds like Desperado.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [B] Desperado, why don't [C] you [D] come to your senses?
_ [G] You've been out riding [Em] fences [A]
for so long [D] now.
[G] Oh, you're a heartbreaker.
[Bm] _ [G] I know that [C] you've got your [D] reasons. _
_ These things that are [Em] pleasing you [A]
can hurt you [G] somehow.
_ _ [Bm] _ [Em] Now don't you draw the queen [Bm] down with the law.
[C] She'll beat you at your table.
You know the queen of hearts is always [G] your best bet.
_ _ _ [Em] Now it seems the [Bm] reason for things
[C] have been laid upon your [G] table.
[Em] But you only want the [A] ones you [D] care. _ _
_ _ [G] Desperado.
_ [Bm] Oh, [C] you ain't getting no younger.
[Dm] _ You're gaining _ [Em]
longer.
[A] They're driving you [D] bold.
[G] And freedom, [Bm] oh, freedom, [C] well, that's just some people talking.
[Cm] _ [G] Your prison is [Em] open to [A] this world all [G] alone.
_ [Bm] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Bm] _ That [G] sky won't snow and that sun won't [E] shine.
It's hard to tell [C] the nighttime [G] from the [Bm] day.
_ [Em] You're losing all [Bm] your eyes and nose and your [G] funny eyes.
And that feeling _ [A]
goes away, away.
[D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Desperado.
_ [Bm] Why don't [C] you come to your [Cm] senses?
_ Come [D] down from your [Em] fences.
_ [A] _ _ Open [D] the gate.
It [G] may be raining, _ [D] but [C] there's a rainbow [Cm] above you.
_ You better [D] let somebody [Em] love you.
[A] You _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ better _ [G] let [Em] somebody _ love you _ [A] _
before [Eb] it's too [D] _ _
_ _ [G] late. _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
Can I put my hat back on now?
[C] Is that it?
All right.
They're like, [B] yes, you can.
You sound like my mom.
[Bb] Yes, you can.
