[Verse 1]
Dm C6/9
On the first part of the journey
Dm C6/9
I was lookin at all the life
Dm C6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Dm C6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Dm C6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Dm C6/9
and the sky with no clouds
Dm C6/9
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
Dm C6/9
but the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Dm9 Cmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Dm9 Cmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Dm9 Cmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Dm9 Cmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Dm9 Cmaj9
La la la la lala la lala
Dm9 Cmaj9
la la la
[Verse 2]
Dm C6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Dm C6/9
my skin began to turn red
Dm C6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Dm C6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Dm C6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Dm C6/9
made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Dm9 Cmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Dm9 Cmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Dm9 Cmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Dm9 Cmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Dm9 Cmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
Dm9 Cmaj9
la la la
[Verse 3]
Dm C6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Dm C6/9
'cause the desert had turned to sea
Dm C6/9
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
Dm C6/9
there were sand and hills and rings
Dm C6/9
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
Dm C6/9
and the perfect disguise above
Dm C6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Dm C6/9
but the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Dm9 Cmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Dm9 Cmaj9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Dm9 Cmaj9
in the desert you can remember your name
Dm9 Cmaj9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Dm9 Cmaj9
la la la la lala la lala
Dm9 Cmaj9
la la la
