[Em] [D6] [D9]
Verse 1
Verse 1
On the [Em]first part of the [D6]journey
I was [Em]looking at all the [D6]life
There were [Em]plants and birds and [D6]rocks and things
There were [Em]sand and hills and [D6]rings
The [Em]first thing I met was a [D6]fly with a buzz
And the [Em]sky with no [D6]clouds
The [Em]heat was hot and the [D6]ground was dry
But the [Em]air was full of [D6]sound
Chorus
I've [Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
It felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
In the [Em9]desert you can [Dmaj9]remember your name
'Cause there [Em9]ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
[Em9]La, la, la [Dmaj9]lala la la la, la, la
[Em9]La, la, la [Dmaj9]lala la la la, la, la
Verse 2
After [Em]two days in the [D6]desert sun
My [Em]skin began to turn [D6]red
After [Em]three days in the [D6]desert fun
I was [Em]looking at a river [D6]bed
And the [Em]story it told of a [D6]river that flowed
Made me [Em]sad to think it was [D6]dead
Chorus
You see I've [Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
It felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
In the [Em9]desert you can [Dmaj9]remember your name
'Cause [Em9]there ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
La, [Em9]la, la lala [Dmaj9]la la la, la, la
La, [Em9]la, la lala [Dmaj9]la la la, la, la
Verse 3
After [Em]nine days I let the [D6]horse run free
'Cause the [Em]desert had turned to [D6]sea
There were [Em]plants and birds and [D6]rocks and things
There were [Em]sand and hills and [D6]rings
The [Em]ocean is a desert with its [D6]life underground
And a [Em]perfect disguise [D6]above
Under the [Em]cities lies a [D6]heart made of ground
But the [Em]humans will give no [D6]love
Chorus
You see, I've [Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
It felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
In the [Em9]desert you can [Dmaj9]remember your name
'Cause [Em9]there ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
[Em9]La, la, la [Dmaj9]lala la la la, la, la
[Em9]La, la, la [Dmaj9]lala la la la, la, la
