Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A | A7   | D/A | Dm/A | A | F#m 
B | E5/B 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     A    A7              D               Dm
Desperado,  why don't you come to your senses
            A          F#m     B          E
You been out riding fences for so long now
             A       A7
Oh, you're a hard one
                D                  Dm
But I know that you've got your reasons
      A              A/G#    F#m
These things that are    pleasing you
    B        E
Can hurt you somehow

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A E/G#          F#m                  C#m
      Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
       D                 A   A/G#
She'll beat you if she's able
         F#m                D                A  E/G#
Know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
       F#m                   C#m
Now it seems to me, some fine  things
              D             A
Have been laid upon your table
        B                                   Esus4 E
But you only want the things that you can't get  

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     A    A7              D            Dm
Desperado,  oh, you aren't getting any younger
     A        A/G#    F#m          B               E
Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home
    A               A7
And freedom, oh freedom
             D                   Dm
Well, that's just some people talking
     A      A/G#   F#m
Your prison is  walking
             B        E A   E/G#
Through this world all alone

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
               F#m                  C#m
And don't your feet get cold in the winter time
    D                   A              A/G#
The sky won't snow, the sun won't shine
     F#m              D                   A  E/G#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
       F#m                  C#m
You're losing all your highs  and lows
D                      A
Isn't it funny how the feeling
      B
Goes away

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Esus4 E     A    Bm7    A/C#      D               Dm
       Desperado,   why don't you come to your senses
     A         A/G#    F#m      B            E
Come down from your fences, and open the gate
          A       A7              D             Dm
It may be raining,  but there's a rainbow above you
           A       A/G#     F#m
You better let somebody love  you
           D       A/C#     B
You better let somebody love you
           A       C#7      F#m
You better let somebody love  you
            E5/B A
Before it's too  late
