Despera-[G]do, [G7]why don’t you [C]come to your [Cm]senses?
You been [G]out ridin’ [Em]fences for [A7]so long [D7]now
Oh, you’re a [G]hard one I know that you [C]got your reasons
These [G]things that are [Em]pleasin’ you
Can [A7]hurt you [D7]some-[G]how
Don’ you [Em]draw the queen of -[Bm]diamonds, boy
She’ll [C]beat you if she’s [G]able
You know the [Em]queen of heats is [C]always your best [G]bet
Now it [Em]seems to me, some [Bm]fine things
Have been [C]laid upon your [G]table
But you [Em]only want the [A7]ones that you can’t [D]get
Despera-[G]do, [G7]oh, you ain’t [C]gettin’ no [Cm]youger
Your [G]pain and your [Em]hunger, they’re [A7]drivin’ you [D7]home
And [G]freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people [C]talkin’
Your [G]prison is [Em]walking through this [A7]world [D7]all [G]alone
Don’t your [Em]feet get cold in the [Bm]winter time?
The [C]sky won’t snow and the [G]sun won’t shine
It’s [Em]hard to tell the night [C]time from the [G]day
You’re [Em]loosin’ all your [Bm]highs and lows
Ain’t it [C]funny how the [G]feeling goes [Am]away? [D]
Despera-[G]do, [G7]why don’t you [C]come to your [Cm]senses?
Come [G]down from your [Em]fences, [A7]open the [D7]gate
It may be [G]rainin’, but there’s a [C]rainbow above you
You better [G]let somebody [Em]love you
[A7]Before it’s [D]too [G]late
