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