verse 1)
Em D6/9/F#
On the first part of the journey
Em D6/9/F#
I was looking at all the life
Em D6/9/F#
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9/F#
there was sand and hills and rings
verse 2)
Em D6/9/F#
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D6/9/F#
and the sky with no clouds
Em D6/9/F#
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D6/9/F#
but the air was full of sound
Em D6/9/F#
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D6/9/F#
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D6/9/F#
in the desert you can't re- member your name
Em D6/9/F#
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la
verse 3)
Em D6/9/F#
After two days in the desert sun
my skin began to turn red
after three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
and the story it told of a river that flowed
made me sad to think it was dead
Em D6/9/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D6/9/F#
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D6/9/F#
in the desert you can't re- member your name
Em D6/9/F#
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la

verse 4
Em D6/9/F#
After nine days I let the horse run free
'cause the desert had turned to sea
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
the ocean is a desert with its life underground and
a perfect disguise a- bove
under the cities lies a heart made of ground
but the humans will give no love
Chorus 3)
Em D6/9/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D6/9/F#
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D6/9/F#
in the desert you can't re- member your name
Em D6/9/F#
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la

La lalala lalalalalala lala la
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la

La lalala lalalalalala lala la
Em D6/9/F# Em D6/9/F#
La lalala lalalalalala lala la (Fade out)
