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
[Refrão]
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#m C#m D
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon
A
your table
B7 E7
But you only want the things that you can't get
A A7 D Dm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
A F#m B7 E7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
A A7 D
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people
Dm
talkin'
A F#m B7 E7
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Refrão]
F#m C#m
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
D A
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
F#m D A
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
F#m C#m
You're losin' all your highs and lows
D A B7 E7
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
A A7 D Dm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
A F#m B7 E7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
A A7 D Dm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
A F#m B7 E7
You better let somebody love you,
A F#m B7 E7
You better let somebody love you
A F#m
You better let somebody love you
B7 E7 A
before it's too late
