Desperado Troubadours chords

[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
N.C.   G                                   C                  G
We may come from different places, yet the journey's much the same
    Em              Bm                Am            D
For all us restless souls who live to chase a dying flame
       G
And we share the same old struggles
      C                  G
And rejections along the path
       C             G                     D                 G
But we hit that road running and dare that road to hit us back
 
 
[Chorus]
       C               D              G                C
And we ride off in the sunset just to fight another day
    G                                 D
Too stubborn not to do things our own way
            C           D           G              C
Yeah, we're cowboys and hippies and gypsies at our core
     G                  C            D          G

[Verse 2]
G                                            C                 G
We wear holes in all our highways until they keep us up at night
Em              Bm                Am                    D
Eyes wide open, dreaming 'til the darkness turns to light
       G                                     C                 G
And we run from those who love us, yet their prayers continue on
       C            G                  D              G
And we'll pass up a sure thing just to gamble on a song
 
 
[Chorus]
       C               D              G                C
And we ride off in the sunset just to fight another day
    G                                 D
Too stubborn not to do things our own way
            C           D           G              C
Yeah, we're cowboys and hippies and gypsies at our core
     G                  C            D          G
Free-wheeling, rock-and-rolling desperado troubadours

    G                                 D

Chords used: G, C, Em, Bm, Am, D

Intro:
Start with a G chord to introduce the song's reflective yet spirited vibe.

Verse 1:
The verse opens with no chord (N.C.) before moving into G, setting a narrative
tone of unity despite diverse backgrounds. The progression from G to C then back to
G, and transitioning through Em, Bm, Am, to D, paints a picture of shared experiences
and resilience among those who live passionately.

Chorus:
The chorus shifts to C, D, and back to G, highlighting the core identity of the song's
subjects as free-spirited individuals. The repetition of "cowboys and hippies and
gypsies at our core" over the C, D, G progression underscores their unyielding nature
and collective spirit.

Verse 2:
The second verse follows the same chord pattern as the first, further exploring the
theme of a restless, dream-chasing life, with the added depth of running from love
yet being supported by those left behind.

Guitar Solo:
The guitar solo offers a musical interlude that mirrors the song's themes, moving
through Bm, C, G, D, then Am, C, Am, D, providing a moment to reflect on the
narrative's emotional landscape.

Out-Chorus:
The out-chorus repeats the chorus's progression, reinforcing the anthem's message
and concluding with a triumphant return to the G chord, celebrating the desperado
troubadours' indomitable spirit.

Playing Tips:

Emphasize the transitions between chords to capture the song's dynamic shifts from
reflective to anthemic.
In the verses, let the chords ring out to support the storytelling, paying close attention
to the lyrics' narrative depth.
The chorus is the heart of the song, so play with conviction and energy, highlighting the
defiant and free-wheeling spirit of the troubadours.
Use the guitar solo as an opportunity to express the song's themes musically, adding
your interpretation while staying true to its essence.
