[Intro]  
[Em]    [Em]   [D6/9]  [D6/9]  x2  

[Verse 1]  
       [Em]  
On the first part of the journey  
      [D6/9]  
I was looking at all the life  
           [Em]  
There were plants and birds and rocks and things  
           [D6/9]  
There were sand and hills and rings  
    [Em]  
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz  
        [D6/9]  
And the sky with no clouds  
    [Em]  
The heat was hot and the ground was dry  
        [D6/9]  
But the air was full of sound  

[Chorus]  
     [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]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  

[Verse 2]  
      [Em]  
After two days in the desert sun  
    [D6/9]  
My skin began to turn red  
       [Em]  
After three days in the desert fun  
      [D6/9]  
I was looking at a river bed  
        [Em]  
And the story it told of a river that flowed  
        [D6/9]  
Made me sad to think it was dead  

[Chorus]  
             [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]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
     [Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  

[Verse 3]  
      [Em]  
After nine days I let the horse run free  
           [D6/9]  
'Cause the desert had turned to sea  
           [Em]  
There were plants and birds and rocks and things  
           [D6/9]  
There were sand and hills and rings  
    [Em]  
The ocean is a desert with its life underground  
      [D6/9]  
And a perfect disguise above  
          [Em]  
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground  
        [D6/9]  
But the humans will give no love  

[Chorus]  
              [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]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la  
[Em9]         [Dmaj9]  
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
