Desperado 
The Eagles 1973 "Desperado" [Glenn Frey and Don Henley]
[A] [A7] [D] [Dm] [A] [F#m] [B7] [E7]
Desper-[A]-ado, [A7] why don't you [D] come to your 
[Dm] senses? You've been [A] out ridin' [F#m] fences, for [B7] so long - now. [E7] - - - Oh you're a [A] hard one, but I know that [D] you've got your reasons. [Dm] These [A] things that are [F#m] pleasin' you can [B7] hurt you [E7] some-[A]-how. [E]
Don't you [F#m] draw the queen of [C#m] diamonds boy. She'll [D] beat you if she's [A] able. You know the [F#m] queen of hearts is [D] always your best [A] bet. [E]
Now it [F#m] seems to me, some [C#m] fine things have been [D] laid upon your [A] table. But you [F#m] only want the [B7] ones that you can't [Bm] get. [E]
Desper-[A]-ado, [A7] Ohhhh you ain't [D] getting no [Dm] younger. Your [A] pain and your [F#m] hunger, they're [B7] driving you [E7] home.
And [A] freedom, oh [A7] freedom. Well that's just [D] some people talking. [Dm]. Your [A] prison is [F#m] walking through this [B7] world [E7] all [A] alone. [E]
Don't your [F#m] feet get cold in the [C#m] winter time? The [D] sky won't snow and the [A] sun won't shine. It's [F#m] hard to tell the [D] night time from the [A] day. [E]
And you're [F#m] losing all your [C#m] highs and lows. Ain't it [D] funny how the [A] feeling goes [Bm] away... [E] [E7]
Desper-[A]-ado, [A7] why don't you [D] come to your [Dm] senses? Come [A] down from your [F#m] fences, [B7] open the [E7] gate.
It may be [A] rainin', [A7] but there's a [D] rainbow [Dm] above you.
You better [A] let somebody [F#m] love you.
[D] let somebody [Bm] love you
You better [A] let some-[B7]-body [F#m] love you...ohhh..hooo
be-[Bm]-fore it's [E7] too..oooo.. [A] late.
[A7] [D] [Dm] [A]
