Desperado Chord Chart by the Eagles
Welcome to my Desperado Chord Chart by the Eagles. This is a super cool song in that it has a lot of chord variations and uses a lot of 7 chords. I would consider this a more intermediate song due to the lack of repetition in chords and variety. You really have to pay attention to this one.
Ideally, if I were going to play this song, I would finger pick it since it’s played on a piano, but I’ll give you a general strumming pattern you can use. Each chord is this chart is 2 beats each.
