      F    F7            Bb           Bbm     
Despe-rado why don't you come to your senses  
            F          Dm         G7      C7   
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now  
         F        F7 
You're a hard one   
             Bb                      Bbm 
I know that  you've got your reasons   
      F           A7      Dm        
These things that are pleasin' you  
    Gm       C7   F   A7 
Can hurt you some how   
   
          Dm                Am            
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy  
       Bb       C7       F     
She'll beat you if she's able  
    Dm                 Bb               F   C 
The queen of hearts is always your best bet   
       Dm               Am                
Now it seems to me that some fine things  
          Bb     C7      F      
Have been laid upon your table  
    Dm                G7                  Gm7 C7 
But you only want the ones that you can't get   
   
      F    F7        Bb                 Bbm 
Despe-rado you ain't getting no younger   
     F             Dm      
Your pain and your hunger  
        G7          C7    
They're driving you home  
    F       F7               Bb          Bbm      
And freedom well that's just some people talking  
     F      A7     Dm           
Your prison is walking through  
     Gm        C7 F  A7 
This world all alone   
   
           Dm                   Am           
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time  
    Bb                     F                
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine  
     Dm               Bb                  F   C 
It's hard to tell the night time from the day   
       Dm              Am              
You're losing all your highs and lows  
Bb                     F              Gm7 C7 
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes a-way   
   
      F    F7            Bb           Bbm     
Despe-rado why don't you come to your senses  
     F              Dm     G7            C7 
Come down from your fences open the gate   
          F       F7            Bb                Bbm 
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you   
           F       A7   Dm        
You better let somebody love you  
Bb           Bbm       
Let somebody love you  
           F        A7   Dm        
You better let some-body love you  
   Gm        C7  F     
Be-fore it's too late
