Despe[F]rado [F7] why don't you [Bb] come to your [Bbm] senses

You've been [F] out ridin' [Dm] fences for [G7] so long [C7] now

You're a [F] hard one [F7]

I know that [Bb] you've got your reasons [Bbm]

These [F] things that [A7] are plea[Dm]sin' you

Can [Gm] hurt you [C7] some [F] how

Don't you [Dm] draw the queen of [Am] diamonds boy

She'll [Bb] beat you [C7] if she's [F] able

The [Dm] queen of hearts is [Bb] always your best [F] bet [C]

Now it [Dm] seems to me that [Am] some fine things

Have been [Bb] laid up[C7]on your [F] table

But [Dm] you only want the [G7] ones that you can't [Gm7] get [C7]

Despe[F]rado [F7] you ain’t [Bb] getting no younger [Bbm]

Your [F] pain and your [Dm] hunger

They're [G7] driving you [C7] home

And [F] freedom [F7] well that's just [Bb] some people [Bbm] talking

Your [F] prison [A7] is walk[Dm]ing through

This [Gm] world all [C7] a[F]lone

Don't your [Dm] feet get cold in the [Am] winter time

The [Bb] sky won't snow and the [F] sun won't shine

It's [Dm] hard to tell the [Bb] night time from the [F] day [C]

You're [Dm] losing all your [Am] highs and lows

[Bb] Ain’t it funny how the [F] feeling goes a[Gm7]way [C7]

Despe[F]rado [F7] why don't you [Bb] come to your [Bbm] senses

Come [F] down from your [Dm] fences [G7] open the gate [C7]

It may be [F] rainin' [F7] but there's a [Bb] rainbow above you [Bbm]

You better [F] let some[A7]body [Dm] love you

[Bb] Let somebody [Bbm] love you

You better [F] let some[A7]body [Dm] love you

Be[Gm]fore it's [C7] too [F] late
