Song: Desperado 
By:   Eagles

[intro:]  |G  G7  |C Cm |G  Em | A7  D7  {let ring}  

[verse: 1] 
      G    G7              C            Cm     
Desperado,   why don't you come to your senses
            G          Em          A7      D7     
You've been out riding fences, for so long now
            G        G7                          
Oh you're a hard one
            C                      Cm
I know that you've got your reasons
       G     D#dim    Em                         {D#dim = xx1212 or use B7 = xx1212}
These things that are pleasing you
    A7       D   G   D/F#
Can hurt you somehow

[bridge: 1] 
          Em                Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
       C                 G
She'll beat you if she's able
             Em                 C                G   D/F#
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
       Em                Bm
Now it seems to me, some fine things
          C              G
Have been laid upon your table
        Em            A7
But you only want the ones
               Am7                                {Am7 or  C/D = xx0553}
That you can't get


[verse: 2] 
D     G     G7                 C          Cm
Desperado,     ohhhh you ain't getting no younger
     G        D/F#  Em
Your pain and your hunger
        A7          D7
They're driving you home
    G           G7
And freedom, oh freedom
                 C                   Cm
Well that's just some people talking
     G      D#dim  Em                              {D#dim = xx1212 or use B7 = x21201} 
Your prison is     walking through 
     A7    D    G    D/F#
This world all alone

[bridge: 2] 
           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
     Em               C                   G      D/F#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
           Em              Bm
And you're losing all your highs and lows
         C             G
ain't it funny how the feeling goes
 Am7    D   
away______
 
[verse: 3]
D7     G    G7              C            Cm
Desperado,    why don't you come to your senses
     G     D/F#     Em      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
           G    D/F#    Em                        
You better let somebody love you
 C     C/B     Am
(let somebody love you)
           G/D  D#dim   Em                        {D#dim = xx1212 or use B7 = x21201}
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo

[coda:]
