[Verse 1]
Am G6/9
On the first part of the journey
Am G6/9
I was lookin at all the life
Am G6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Am G6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Am G6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Am G6/9
and the sky with no clouds
Am G6/9
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
Am G6/9
but the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Am9 Gmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Am9 Gmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Am9 Gmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Am9 Gmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Am9 Gmaj9
La la la la lala la lala
Am9 Gmaj9
la la la
[Verse 2]
Am G6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Am G6/9
my skin began to turn red
Am G6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Am G6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Am G6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Am G6/9
made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Am9 Gmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Am9 Gmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Am9 Gmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Am9 Gmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Am9 Gmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
Am9 Gmaj9
la la la
[Verse 3]
Am G6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Am G6/9
'cause the desert had turned to sea
Am G6/9
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
Am G6/9
there were sand and hills and rings
Am G6/9
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
Am G6/9
and the perfect disguise above
Am G6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Am G6/9
but the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Am9 Gmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Am9 Gmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Am9 Gmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Am9 Gmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Am9 Gmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
Am9 Gmaj9
la la la
