Desperado
1973
This is a great upbeat song that's really easy to play. So I hope you have
fun with it, and good luck. A few notes: there are 2 guitars most of the
time, so there will be two stacked guitar parts. I hope you can read them.
Also, the chords during the verse are just strummed, so make up a pattern
that sounds good.

Verse 1: strum chords
E
Oh, my, don't the sky look spacious
E
With the stars all shinin' down
A
Well, I can hear the night wind howlin'
D
It's a high and lonesome sound
E
And I ain't had a woman in so long
E
I can't feed my starvin' soul
A D
Come on, saddle up, boys, we're gonna ride into town
E
We're gonna get a little out of control

Verse 2
E
There's a card game in the corner
E
And the barmaid smiled at me
A
Well, I tipped her a silver dollar and
D
she brought me a drink for free
E
All the town-folk call her the cheap one
E
And the gamblers call her the hole
A D
Come on, set 'em up again, I got me a friend
E
And I think I'm gettin' out of control
