DESPERADO

Eagles


Most of this is really piano, but guitar does come in after the
second verse.  Have fun with it, and if you have any questions
about chords just e-mail me.  Also, if you have the album, check
out Desperado(Reprise) at the end of this piece.


INTRO:  G       G7      C       Cm6     G       Em      A7      D7

Despe[G]rado, [G9]why don't you [C]come to your sen[Cm6]ses ?
You been [G]out ridin' fen[Em7]ces for [A7]so long now[D7]
Oh, you're a [G]hard one, [Dm7/G]I know that [C]you got your rea[Cm6]sons, 
These [G]things that [B7]are plea[Em7]sin' you can [A7]hurt you [D7]somehow

[G]  [D/F#]
Don't you [Em]draw the Queen of [Bm7]Diamonds boy,
She'll [C]beat you if she's able. [G]
You know the [Em7]Queen of Hearts is [C]always your best [G]bet [D/F#]
Now it [Em]seems to me some [Bm7]fine things have been [C]laid upon your [G]table
But you [Em]only want the [A7]ones you can't [Am7]get

[D]Des[D7]per[G]ado, [Dm7/G]oh you ain't [C]gettin' no younger,
Your [G]pain and [D/F#]your hun[Em]ger, they're [A7]drivin' you [D7]home
And [G]freedom, oh [Dm7/G]freedom, well, that's just [C]some people talkin'
[Bm] [Am] Your [G]prison is wal[Em]kin' through this [A7]world all [D7]alone

[G] [D/F#]
Don't your [Em]feet get cold in the [Bm7]winter time ?
The [C]sky won't snow and [G]the sun won't [D/F#]shine
It's [Em7]hard to tell the [C]night time from the [G]day [D/F#]
You're [Em]losin' all your [Bm7]highs and lows
Ain't it [C]funny how the [G]feelin' goes a[Am7]way

[D]Des[D7]pe[G]rado, [Dm7/G]why don't you [C]come to your sen[Cm6]ses
Come [G]down from [D/F#]your fen[Em]ces, [A7]open the [D7]gate
It may be [G]rainin',  [Dm7/G]but there's a [C]rainbow above you [Cm6]
You better [G]let some[B7]body [Em]love you, ([C]let some[G/B]body  [Am]love you)
You better [G]let some[B7]body [Em]love you be[Am7]fore it's [D7]too [G]late

DESPERADO (Reprise)
Don Henley & Glenn Frey

Eagles
Desperado

This song is basically just fingerpicking these chords in the intro, then
strumming for the end.  It's really cool, and I can't think of a better way
to end Desperado than this little song.  It's definitely my favorite on the
album.  Don't forget the capo.

*capo up 2 frets*

This is the intro, played on acoustic guitar with a slide throughout.
There's a banjo playing the chords shown above it, after it ends,
the banjo and acoustic do some fingerpicking until the chorus comes in,
then they just strum the chords.  Also, a 2 in the tab means open string
with the capo on.  Have fun!

The [Em]Queen of Diamonds [Bm7]let you down
She was [C]just an empty [G]fable
The [Em7]Queen of Hearts you [C]say you never met [G] [D/F#]
Your [Em]twisted fate has [Bm7]found you out
An' it's [C]finally turned the [G]table
[Em]Stole your dreams and [A7]paid you with re[Am7]gret

[D]Desper[G]ado  (Is there gonna be [D/F#]anything left is there [Em]gonna be)
You sealed your [C]fate (anything) a long [Am]time ago
(Ain't it hard when you're [C/G]all alone in the [Am]center ring)
Now there's [C]no time left to [G]borrow
(Is there gonna be [D/F#]anything left) Only [Am]stardust
(Maybe) Maybe to[C]morrow   [G]
Maybe to[C]morrow	[G]
