Intro
[Em] [D6/9]
Verse 1
[Em]On the first part of the [D6/9]journey
[Em]I was looking at all the [D6/9]life
[Em]There were plants and birds and rocks and [D6/9]things
[Em]There were sand and hills and [D6/9]rings
[Em]The first thing I met was a fly with a [D6/9]buzz
[Em]And the sky with no [D6/9]clouds
[Em]The heat was hot and the ground was [D6/9]dry
[Em]But the air was full of [D6/9]sound
Chorus
[Em9]I've been through the desert on a horse with no [Dmaj9]name
[Em9]It felt good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
[Em9]In the desert you can remember your [Dmaj9]name
[Em9]'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no [Dmaj9]pain
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
Verse 2
[Em]After two days in the desert [D6/9]sun
[Em]My skin began to turn [D6/9]red
[Em]After three days in the desert [D6/9]fun
[Em]I was looking at a river [D6/9]bed
[Em]And the story it told of a river that [D6/9]flowed
[Em]Made me sad to think it was [D6/9]dead
Chorus
[Em9]You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no [Dmaj9]name
[Em9]It felt good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
[Em9]In the desert you can remember your [Dmaj9]name
[Em9]'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no [Dmaj9]pain
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
Solo
[Em] [D6/9]
Verse 3
[Em]After nine days I let the horse run [D6/9]free
[Em]'Cause the desert had turned to [D6/9]sea
[Em]There were plants and birds and rocks and [D6/9]things
[Em]There were sand and hills and [D6/9]rings
[Em]The ocean is a desert with its life [D6/9]underground
[Em]And a perfect disguise [D6/9]above
[Em]Under the cities lies a heart made of [D6/9]ground
[Em]But the humans will give no [D6/9]love
Chorus
[Em9]You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no [Dmaj9]name
[Em9]It felt good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain

[Em9]'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no [Dmaj9]pain
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
[Em9]La, la, la lala la la la, la, [Dmaj9]la
