Despe-

rado,

G7 |

why don’t you

come to your

senses? You’ve been

out ridin’

Em |

fences for

so long

D7 |

now, oh, you’re a-

hard one,

but I know that

you’ve got your reasons,

fine things have been

laid upon your

don’t your-

wintertime? The

snow and the

D/F# |

shine, it’s

|Em

hard to tell the

Despe-

why don’t you

come to your

senses? Come

down from

your

fences,

|A7

open the

D7 |

gate, it may be-

rainin’,

G7 |

but there’s a

rainbow above
