Intro: Em  D6/9  (×2)

             Em                       D6/9               Em                       D6/9
On the first part of the journey  I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things  There were sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz  And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry  But the air was full of sound

 

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


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

 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name. 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la        La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

 

Em  D6/9  (Jam)

 

After nine days I let the horse run free  'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things  There were sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with its life underground  And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground  But the humans will give no love

 

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

 

La, la, la lala la la la, la, la        La, la, la lala la la la, la, la (repeat)
