       Em                D6/9           Em                 D6/9
On the first part of the journey, I was lookin at all the life
            Em                   D6/9                        Em                  D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there were sand and hills and rings
    Em                           D6/9               Em           D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz and the sky with no clouds
    Em                    D6/9                   Em               D6/9
the heat was hot and the ground was dry, but the air was full of sound

      Em9                         Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9           Dmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
              Em9                Dmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la

      Em               D6/9         Em                  D6/9
After two days in the desert sun my skin began to turn red
      Em                 D6/9            Em                  D6/9
After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed
        Em                    D6/9                   Em                   D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed made me sad to think it was dead

             Em9                         Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9           Dmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
              Em9                Dmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la

      Em                   D6/9                     Em                    D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea
           Em                    D6/9                       Em                  D6/9
there were plants and birds and rocks and things there were sand and hills and rings
    Em                           D6/9                    Em                 D6/9
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground and the perfect disguise above
          Em             D6/9                        Em                   D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground but the humans will give no love

             Em9                         Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9           Dmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
              Em9                Dmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la
   Em9    Dmaj9              Em9   Dmaj9
La la   la la lala la lala   la la la
