[Intro]

|Em  |D6 |Em  |D6  |

 

[Verse 1]

       Em                D6 

On the first part of the journey

      Em                 D6 

I was looking at all the life

           Em                   D6 

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

           Em                 D6 

There were sand and hills and rings

    Em                      D6 

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

        Em            D6 

And the sky with no clouds

    Em                    D6 

The heat was hot and the ground was dry

        Em                D6 

But the air was full of sound

 

 

[Chorus]

     Em                           D6   

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

        Em                    D6   

It felt good to be out of the rain

        Em               D6   

In the desert you can remember your name

              Em                 D6 

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

 

 

[Verse 2]

      Em              D6 

After two days in the desert sun

    Em                D6 

My skin began to turn red

       Em               D6 

After three days in the desert fun

      Em                 D6 

I was looking at a river bed

        Em                 D6 

And the story it told of a river that flowed

        Em                  D6 

Made me sad to think it was dead

 

 

[Chorus]

             Em                           D6 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

         Em                   D6   

It felt good to be out of the rain

       Em              D6   

In the desert you can remember your name

       Em                        D6   

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

 

 

[Verse 3]

      Em                  D6 

After nine days I let the horse run free

           Em                   D6 

'Cause the desert had turned to sea

           Em                   D6 

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

           Em                 D6 

There were sand and hills and rings

    Em                         D6 

The ocean is a desert with its life underground

      Em               D6 

And a perfect disguise above

          Em            D6 

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

        Em                  D6 

But the humans will give no love

 

 

[Chorus]

              Em                           D6 

You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

        Em                    D6   

It felt good to be out of the rain

       Em               D6   

In the desert you can remember your name

       Em                        D6   

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la

Em       D6                 Em       D6

La la la la la la la, la la la, la la
