Lyrics

(C)Desperado, (C9)why don't you (F)come to your (Fm6)senses?

Been (C)out (G)riding (Am7)fences for (G)so long you now.

You're a (C)hard one.

(C9)I know that (F)you've got your (Fm6)reasons.

These (C)things that (G)are (Am7)pleasing you can (D7)hurt you (G7)(C)somehow.

(E)Don't you (Am)draw the queen of diamonds,

(Em7)boy; (F)she'll beat you if she's able.

You know, the (Am)queen of hearts is (F)always your best bet.

(G)Now it (Am)seems to me (Em7)some fine things have been (F)laid upon your (C)table,

(Am7)but you only want the (D7)ones you can't (G7sus)get.

(G7)(C)(E7)DesperaDon't your (Am)feet get cold in the (Em7)wintertime?

The (F)sky won't snow and the (C)sun won't shine;

(Am)it's hard to tell the nighttime from the (C)day.

(Am)You're losing all your (Em7)highs and lows;

ain't (F)it funny how the feeling goes (Dm7)away?

(Gsus)(C)Desperado, (C9)why don't you (F)come to your (Fm6)senses,

come (C)down from your (Am7)fences and (D7)open the (G7)gate?

It may be (C)raining,

(C9)but there's a (F)rainbow above you.

You better (C)let (G)somebody love you.

You (Am)better (F)let (C)somebody love you.

You better let (E7)somebody love you (Dm7)before it's (G5)too (C)late.
