Desperado Lyrics and Chords

The song is about a loner named Desperado who rides fences and is hard to reach. The singer urges Desperado to come to his senses, come down from his fences, and let somebody love him before it's too late, as he gets no younger and his hunger and pain are driving him home alone in the world.

Desperado

By The Eagles

G G7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
G Em7 A7 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 B7 Em7 A7 D7 G
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

D Em Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
C G
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
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Em A7 Am7
But you only want the ones you can't get

D D7 G G7 C Cm
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' 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 talkin'
G B7 Em7 A7 D7 G
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

D 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
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

D D7 G G7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
G D Em A7 D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
G G7 C Cm
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G B7 Em C G Am7
You better let somebody love you,
G B7 Em Am7 D7 G
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
