Desperado

By The Eagles


 GG7CCm
 Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
 GA7D7
 You been out ridin' fences for so long now
 GG7CCm
 Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
 GB7Em7A7D7G
 These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

 DEmBm
 Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
 CG
 She'll beat you if she's able,
 Em7CGD
 You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet 
 EmBmCG
 Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
 EmA7Am7
 But you only want the ones you can't get

 DD7GG7CCm
 Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
 GEm7A7D7
 Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
 GG7CCm
 And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
 GEm7A7D7G
 Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

 DEmBm
 Don't your feet get cold in the winter time ?
 CG
 The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
 Em7CGD
 It's hard to tell the night time from the day 
 EmBm
 You're losin' all your highs and lows
 CGAm7
 Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

 DD7GG7CCm
 Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
 GDEmA7D7
 Come down from your fences, open the gate
 GG7CCm
 It may be rainin',  but there's a rainbow above you 
 GB7EmCGAm7
 You better let somebody love you,     
 GB7EmAm7D7G
 You better let somebody love you before it's too late

Second line, "You been out ridin' fences..." I like to walk down from that G on "out" to Em on "fences".  Any other suggestions for a better sounding Cm in this song?

Yee-Haa for that Em.. Sounds great!

I use the Em as well there.  As for a better Cm, try x35543.  It fits in with the song perfectly.
