[Verse 1]
      G  G7              C              Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
         G            Em7      A7        D7
You been out riding fences for so long now
             G       G7            C               Cm
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
      G       (B7)      Em7            A7       D7      G     D
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

[Chorus]
          Em                Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
       C                 G    D
She'll beat you if she's able,
             Em7                C                G   D
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
       Em               Bm                    C               G   D
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
        Em            A7              Am7     D   D7
But you only want the ones you can't get.......

[Verse 2]
      G  G7             C             Cm
Desperado, oh you ain't getting no younger,
     G               Em7           A7          D7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
    G      G7                   C             Cm
And freedom,  well, that's just some people talking
     G     (B7)   Em7               A7      D7     G   D
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

[Chorus]
          Em                   Bm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
       C                  G
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
     Em7              C                   G    D
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
       Em              Bm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
         C             G             Am7     D   D7
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away......

[Verse 3]
     G  G7              C              Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
     G              Em7       A7         D7
Come down from your fences,  open the gate
          G      G7               C           Cm
It may be raining,  but there's a rainbow above you

[Outro]
           G        Em7             C         Cm
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
           G        Em7
You better let somebody love you
Am7        D7        G
before it's    too late
