[Verse 1]
C#m B6/9
On the first part of the journey
C#m B6/9
I was lookin at all the life
C#m B6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
C#m B6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
C#m B6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
C#m B6/9
and the sky with no clouds
C#m B6/9
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
C#m B6/9
but the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
C#m9 Bmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
C#m9 Bmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
C#m9 Bmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
C#m9 Bmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
C#m9 Bmaj9
La la la la lala la lala
C#m9 Bmaj9
la la la
[Verse 2]
C#m B6/9
After two days in the desert sun
C#m B6/9
my skin began to turn red
C#m B6/9
After three days in the desert fun
C#m B6/9
I was looking at a river bed
C#m B6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
C#m B6/9
made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
C#m9 Bmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
C#m9 Bmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
C#m9 Bmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
C#m9 Bmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
C#m9 Bmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
C#m9 Bmaj9
la la la
[Verse 3]
C#m B6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
C#m B6/9
'cause the desert had turned to sea
C#m B6/9
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
C#m B6/9
there were sand and hills and rings
C#m B6/9
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
C#m B6/9
and the perfect disguise above
C#m B6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
C#m B6/9
but the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
C#m9 Bmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
C#m9 Bmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
C#m9 Bmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
C#m9 Bmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
C#m9 Bmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
C#m9 Bmaj9
la la la
