Intro: Em D6(9)/F# Em D6(9)/F#
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
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 D9/F#
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D9/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D9/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
Em D9/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
Em D6(9)/F#
After two days in the desert sun
Em D6(9)/F#
My skin began to turn red
Em D6(9)/F#
After three days in the desert fun
Em D6(9)/F#
I was looking at a river bed
Em D6(9)/F#
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6(9)/F#
Made me sad to think it was dead
Em D9/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D9/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D9/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
Em D9/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
Em D6(9)/F#
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D6(9)/F#
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D6(9)/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6(9)/F#
there was sand and hills and rings
Em D6(9)/F#
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
Em D6(9)/F#
And a perfect disguise above
Em D6(9)/F#
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D6(9)/F#
But the humans will give no love
Em D9/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D9/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D9/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
Em D9/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
Em D9/F#
La la la la la la la la
