Johnny Cash, Desperado (2002)
^{Key: :[G#] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey)}
INTRO: [G#] [G#7] [C#] [C#m] [G#] [Fm7] [A#7] [D#7]

VERSE 1:
Despe-[G#]-rado [G#7], why don't you [C#] come to your sen-[C#m]-ses?
You been [G#] out ridin' [Fm7] fences for [A#7] so long [D#7] now
Oh, you're a [G#] hard one [G#7], I know that [C#] you got your rea-[C#m]-sons,
These [G#] things that are [Fm7] pleasin' you can [A#7] hurt you [D#7] some [G#] how [D#]

VERSE 2:
Don't you [Fm] draw the queen of [Cm] diamonds boy,
She'll [C#] beat you if she's [G#] able,
You know the [Fm7] queen of hearts is [C#] always your [G#] best bet [D#]
Now it [Fm] seems to me some [Cm] fine things have been [C#] laid upon your [G#] table
But you [Fm] only want the [A#7] things that you can't [D#] get [D#7] [D#]

VERSE 3:
Despe-[G#]-rado [G#7], oh you ain't [C#] gettin' no [C#m] younger,
Your [G#] pain and your [Fm7] hunger, they're [A#7] drivin' you [D#7] home
And [G#] freedom, oh [G#7] freedom, well, that's [C#] just some people [C#m] talkin'
Your [G#] prison is [Fm7] walkin' through this [A#7] world [D#7] all [G#] alone [D#]

BRIDGE:
Don't your [Fm] feet get cold in the [Cm] winter time?
The [C#] sky won't snow and [G#] the sun won't shine
It's [F7] hard to tell the [C#] night time from the [G#] day [D#]
You're [Fm] losin' all your [Cm] highs and lows
[C#] Ain't it funny how the [G#] feelin' goes [A#7] away [D#7] [D#]

VERSE 4:
Despe-[G#]-rado [G#7], why don't you [C#] come to your [C#m] senses?
Come [G#] down from your [Fm] fences and [A#7] open the [D#7] gate
It may be [G#] rainin' [G#7], but there's a [C#] rainbow above [C#m] you
You better [G#] let somebody [Fm] love you, you better [C#] let somebody [A#m7] love you
You better [G#] let somebody [Fm] love you be-[A#m7]-fore it's [D#7] too [G#] late
