DESPERADO
By Don Henley & Glenn Frey
The Eagles
Key: G
-4 -3 -3 3 -4 -3 3
Des-per-a-do, why don't you
2 3 2 -3 3
come to your sens-es?
3 3 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -1 -4 -3 -3
You been out rid-in' fenc-es for so long now
-4 -3 3 -4 -5
Oh, you're a hard one
-3* -3 3 2 3 2 -3 3
I know that you got your reas-ons
3 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -4
These things that are pleas-in' you
3 -3 -4 -3 3
Can hurt you some-how
3 3 7 7 7 7 -6* 6 -5
Don't you draw the queen of dia-monds, boy
-5 6 -5 6 -5 -4 3
She'll beat you if she's a-ble
-1 -1 -1 3 3 -4
You know the queen of hearts
3 -3 3 2 3 3
is al-ways your best bet
3 3 7 7 7 7 -6* -5
Now it seems to me, some fine things
-4 -5 6 6 -6* 7 -5 -4
Have been laid up-on your ta-ble
-4 -3 -4 -4 6 -4 3
But you on-ly want the ones
2 -4 -3 -3
that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
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 feeling goes away?
-4 -3-3 3 -4 -3 3
Des-per-a-do, why don't you
2 3 2 -3 3
come to your sens-es?
3 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -3 3 -3
Come down from your fenc-es, o-pen the gate
-4 -3 3 -4 -5
It may be rain-in',
-4 -3 3 2 3 2 -3 3
but there's a rain-bow a-bove you
-3* -3 3 -4 -5 -5 -4 6 -5
You bet-ter let some-bod-y love you,
6 -5 3 -4 -5 -5-4 6 -5
You bet-ter let some-bod-y love you,
3 -3 -4 -332-1 3
Be-fore it's too late
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
