Desperado By The Eagles

Despe[G]rado, [G7]why don't you [C]come to your sen[Cm]ses ?

You been [G]out ridin' fences for [A7]so long now[D7]

Oh, you're a [G]hard one, [G7]I know that [C]you got your rea[Cm]sons,

These [G]things that [B7]are plea[Em7]sin' you can [A7]hurt you [D7]some[G]how

[D]Don't you [Em]draw the queen of [Bm]diamonds boy,

She'll [C]beat you if she's [G]able,

You know the [Em7]queen of hearts is [C]always your best [G]bet [D]

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 you can't [Am7]get

[D]Des[D7]per[G]ado, [G7]oh you ain't [C]gettin' no youn[Cm]ger,

Your [G]pain and your hun[Em7]ger, they're [A7]drivin' you [D7]home

And [G]freedom, [G7]well, that's just [C]some people tal[Cm]kin'

Your [G]prison is wal[Em7]kin' through this [A7]world all [D7]alo[G]ne

[D]Don't your [Em]feet get cold in the [Bm]winter time ?

The [C]sky won't snow and [G]the sun won't shine

It's [Em7]hard to tell the [C]night time from the [G]day [D]

You're [Em]losin' all your [Bm]highs and lows

Ain't it [C]funny how the [G]feelin' goes a[Am7]way

[D]Des[D7]pe[G]rado, [G7]why don't you [C]come to your sen[Cm]ses

Come [G]down from [D]your fen[Em]ces, [A7]open the [D7]gate

It may be [G]rainin', [G7]but there's a [C]rainbow above you [Cm]

You better [G]let some[B7]body [Em]love you, [C] [G] [Am7]

You better [G]let some[B7]body [Em]love you be[Am7]fore it's [D7]too [G]late

This is a sweet tune for a rookie like me because it really helps learn the Minors and sevens and when to use them. Being a "strummer" , learning the sevens and minors allows me to "fill" between chord changes and not sound choppy.

Great song, love it!
I agree with baytripper, i also use the Em on the second line on "fences". It works better for me!

nice job

docatwaterloo (report)

For the G, G7, C, Cm sequence, I play all barre chords with my first finger barring the third fret:
G = 355433
G7 = 353433
C = x35553
Cm = x35543
Enjoy!

druski85 (report)

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

jaminabug (report)

Yee-Haa for that Em.. Sounds great!

sammerduck (report)

woah me too man!! wiiiiiicked

baytripper (report)

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?
