Em D6
On the first part of the journey
Em D6
I was lookin at all the life
Em D6
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D6
and the sky with no clouds
Em D6
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D6
but the air was full of sound
Chorus:
Em9 Dmaj7
Iʼve been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj7
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj7
in the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj7
ʼcause there ainʼt no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj7
la la la la lalala la la la la la
Em D6
After two days in the desert sun
Em D6
my skin began to turn red
Em D6
After three days in the desert fun
Em D6
I was looking at a river bed
Em D6
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6
made me sad to think it was dead
Chorus:
Em9 Dmaj7
Iʼve been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj7
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj7
in the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj7
ʼcause there ainʼt no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj7
la la la la lalala la la la la la
Em D6
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D6
ʼcause the desert had turned to sea
Em D6
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6
there were sand and hills and rings
Em D6
The ocean is a desert with itʼs life underground
Em D6
and the perfect disguise above
Em D6
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D6
but the humans will give no love
Chorus:
Em9 Dmaj7
Iʼve been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj7
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj7
in the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj7
ʼcause there ainʼt no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj7
la la la la lalala la la la la la
