[E] [Em] A
[B] [G#m] [C#]
lovely lady, [F#] Miss Linda [E] Ronstadt.
Oh, [B]
wild [E] ones, come to your [C#] senses.
You've [B] been out [A#m] riding [G#m]
fences for [C#] so long [F#] now.
Oh, [B] you're a hard [F#m] one, but [B] I know [E] you've got your [Em] reasons.
These [F#] things that are [G#m] pleasing you, [F#] hurt you [B] somehow.
[A#m] [G#m] Don't you drive the [D#m] course, [E] she'll beat you if she's [B] able.
[A#m] [G#m] The queen of hearts [E] is always your [B] best bet.
[F#] Well, [G#m] it seems to me [D#] some things [E] have been laid upon your [B] table.
[C#] But you only want the ones that you [F#] can't get.
[G#] [E] [B] Desperado, oh, [E] you ain't getting no younger.
[Em] Your [B] pain and your [G#m]
[B] [C#] driving you [F#]
home.
[B] And freedom, oh, freedom, well [E] that's what some people [Em] talk in.
[B] You're [F#] prisoners [G#m] walking [F#] through this world [F#] all [B] alone.
[A#] [A#m] Don't [G#] you think it's [D#m] kind [E]
[B] of [G#m] hard to tell the [E] nighttime from [F#] the [G#m] day.
It's weird to [D#m]
know [E] that it's funny [B] how feeling goes [C#] away.
[F#]
[B] Desperado, why don't [E] you come to your [Em] senses?
Come [B] down [A#m] from your [F#] fences [F] and [C#] open the [F#] gates.
It [B] may be raining, but [E] there's a rainbow [Em] above.
You better [B] let [A#m] somebody [G#m] [F#] [E]
[C#m] love you [B]
[A#] [G#m]
before [D#]
[F#] it's too
[B] late.
