Em                Dmaj9/6
On the first part of the journey
      Em                 Dmaj9/6
I was looking at all the life
           Em
There were plants and birds
    Dmaj9/6
and rocks and things
          Em                 Dmaj9/6
There was sand and hills and rings
    Em
The first thing
            Dmaj9/6
I met was a fly with a buzz
        Em          Dmaj9/6
And the sky with no clouds
    Em
The heat was hot and
    Dmaj9/6
the ground was dry
        Em              Dmaj9/6
But the air was full of sound
     Em9
I've been through the desert
    Dmaj9
on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain

       Em9
In the desert
          Dmaj9
you can remember your name
            Em9
Cause there ain't no one
       Dmaj9
for to give you no pain
         Em         Dmaj9/6
La la la la  la  la la la la la (x2)
      Em              Dmaj9/6
After two days in the desert sun
   Em                 Dmaj9/6
My skin began to turn red
      Em                Dmaj9/6
After three days in the desert fun
      Em                 Dmaj9/6
I was looking at a river bed
        Em
And the story it told
     Dmaj9/6
of a river that flowed
        Em                  Dmaj9/6
Made me sad to think it was dead
             Em9
You see I've been through the desert
Dmaj9
on a horse with no name

        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9
In the desert
          Dmaj9
you can remember your name
            Em9
Cause there ain't no one
       Dmaj9
for to give you no pain
         Em         Dmaj9/6
La la la la  la  la la la la la (x2)
      Em
After nine days
          Dmaj9/6
I let the horse run free
          Em         Dmaj9/6
Cause the desert had turned to sea
           Em
There were plants and birds
    Dmaj9/6
and rocks and things
          Em                 Dmaj9/6
There was sand and hills and rings
    Em
The ocean is a desert

          Dmaj9/6
with it's life underground
      Em               Dmaj9/6
And a perfect disguise above
          Em
Under the cities lies
  Dmaj9/6
a heart made of ground
        Em                  Dmaj9/6
But the humans will give no love
             Em9
You see I've been through the desert
     Dmaj9
on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9
In the desert
          Dmaj9
you can remember your name
            Em9
Cause there ain't no one
       Dmaj9
for to give you no pain
Em         Dmaj9/6
