Desperado Tab

by Eagles


Hey i hope you like this coz this is how i feel that it sounds like, as far as i am
concerned i think that it is very close to if not the exact same as how they play it,
it may be a little harder to play than the others but there is also a feeling of
authenticity
when playing, well anyways, enjoy!

Through the whole song it is basically 2 beats per chord  unless well you should be able
to know when, just listen to the song for  these times.
                           
Intro:
|  /  / |  /  / |  /  / |  /  / |


                                      
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
                                              
You been out ridin' fences for so long now

                     -sus2
Oh, you're a hard one
                                
I know that you got your reasons
                   
These things that are pleasin' you
                    
Can hurt you somehow

                            
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
                               
She'll beat you if she's able
                                                   
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

                           
Now it seems to me, some fine things
                        
Have been laid upon your table
                                           
But you only want the ones that you can't get

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

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

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


Happy playing!
