《亡命之徒(Desperado)》是老鹰乐队(Eagles)于1973年发行的专辑《亡命之徒》中的主打歌曲,由Don Henley和Glenn Frey共同创作。歌曲以西部片子中孤胆英雄为灵感,讲述了一个生活在边沿,不肯受束缚的亡命之徒的故事。他自由自在,却也孤独寂寞,渴望被爱,却又害怕付出真心。
歌曲的歌词充斥诗意,例如“Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?”(亡命之徒,为何不醒悟?)、“Your prison is walking through this world all alone.”(你的监狱就是独自一人走在这世上。)等句子,深刻地表达了主人公内心的挣扎和痛苦。
在吉他弹奏方面,这首歌曲主要使用简单的和弦,如D、G、C、Em、A等,适合初学者练习。需要注意的是和弦之间的转换要流畅自然,而且要根据歌曲的情感变革调解弹奏的力度和节奏。特别是在副歌部分,需要用更加深情的方式来表达歌曲中的渴望和无奈。
《亡命之徒》不仅仅是一首歌曲,更是一种生活态度的写照。它提醒我们,即使在追求自由的途径上,也不要忘记寻找真爱,不要让自己在孤独中迷失方向。

{title:Desperado} {st:Don Henly/Glen Frey} [D7] [D] [G] [G7] [G7]Desperado why don't you c[C]ome to your s[Cm]enses? You've been o[G]ut riding f[Em7]ences for [A7]so long n[D7]ow. Oh, you're a h[G]ard one[G7], but I know that yo[C]u've got your reas[Cm]ons, These th[G]ings that a[B]re pl[Em7]easin' you can h[A7]urt you so[D7]meh[G]ow. [D] [F#]Don't you d[Em]raw the Queen of Di[Bm7]amonds, boy, She'll b[C]eat you if she's a[G]ble, You know the Qu[Em7]een of Hearts is al[C]ways your best [G]bet.[B7] Well it s[Em]eems to me some f[Bm7]ine things Have been l[C]aid upon your t[G]able, But you o[Em]nly want the o[A7]nes that you can't [Am7]get.
Desperado, you know you ain't getting younger, Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home. And freedom, freedom, well that's just some people talking, Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime, The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine, It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day. You're losing all your highs and lows, Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses, Come down from your fences, open the gate. It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you, You better let somebody love you, You better l[G]et some[G7]body l[Em]ove you,[C] [G] [Am] You better l[G]et some[B7]body l[Em]ove you, Be[Am7]fore it's too late.[G] [G7] [C] [Cm] [G]
