Desperado

Written by Don Henley / Glenn Frey

	  		Intro: G  D/F#  Em  C  A7  D  D7 

      G  G7              C            Cm  
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses  
         G          Em        A7       D   D7  
You been out ridin' fences for so long now  
             G       G7            C            Cm  
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,   
      G               Em7              A7       D   G   D/F#   
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow  
  
  
Chorus 1:  
          Em                D  
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,  
       C                 G  
She'll beat you if she's able,  
             Em                 C                G    D7 
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet  
       Em               D                     C              G  
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table  
        A7                                  D   D7  
But you only want the things that you can't get  
  
  
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,  
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home  
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'  
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone  
  
  
Chorus 2:  
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time  
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine  
It's hard to tell the night time from the day  
You're losin' all your highs and lows  
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away  
  
  
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses  
Come down from your fences, open the gate  
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you  
You better let somebody love you,  
You better let somebody love you   
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
