Bass & Guitar 2 plays G
De-de-de-despe[G]rado, why don't you [C]come to your senses ?
You been [G]out ridin' [Em]fences for [A]so long [D]now
Oh, you're a h[G]ard one, I know that [C]you got your reasons,
These [G]things that are [Em]pleasin' you can [A]hurt you some[G]how
Don't you [Em]draw the queen of [Bm]diamonds boy,
She'll [C]beat you if she's [G]able,
You [Em]know the queen of [C]hearts is always your best [G]bet[G][G/F#]
Now it [Em]seems to me [Bm]some fine things have been [C]laid upon your [G]table
But you [Em]only want the ones you can't [A]get
De-de-de-despe[G]rado, oh you ain't g[C]ettin' no younger,
Your p[G]ain and your [Em]hunger, they're [A]drivin' you [D]home
And [G]freedom, well, that's just [C]some people talkin'
Your [G]prison is [Em]walkin' through this [A]world all al[G]one
Don't your [Em]feet get cold in the winter[Bm] time ?
The [C]sky won't snow and the [G]sun won't shine
It's [Em]hard to tell the [C]night time from the [G]day[G][G/F#]
You're [Em]losin' all your [Bm]highs and lows
Ain't it [C]funny how the [G]feelin' goes [A]away A[D]way
Desperado, [G] [G/F#] why don't you [C]come to your senses
Come [G]down from your [Em]fences, [A] open the [D]gate
It may be [G]rainin'[G/F#], but there's a [C]rainbow above you
You better [G]let som[G/F#]ebody l[Em]ove you,[C][G][A]
You better [G]let som[G/F#]ebody [Em]love you... before it's too' three, four!
