G C
De-de-de-desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
G Em A D
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
G C
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
G Em A G
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
Em Bm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
C G
She'll beat you if she's able,
Em C G G/F#
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 A
But you only want the ones you can't get
G C
De-de-de-desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
G Em A D
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
G C
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
G Em A G
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
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 G/F#
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Em Bm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
C G A D
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away Away
G Em A D
Come down from your fences, open the gate
G G/F# C
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G G/F# Em C G A
You better let somebody love you,
G G/F# Em
You better let somebody love you... before it's too…… three, four!
