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