On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life.
There were plants and birds and [E] rocks and things.
[Em] There was sand and hills and rains.
The first thing I met [F#m] was a flower with a [Em] buzz and a sky with [F#m] no clouds.
[Em] The heat was hot [F#m] and the ground [B] was dry [Em] but the air was full [A] of sound.
[Em] I've been through the desert [F#] on a horse with [Em] no name.
It felt good to be out [F#m] of the rain.
[Em] In the desert you [F#m] can remember your [Em] name.
Cause there ain't no one [F#] going to give [Em] you no thanks.

[Em] After 2 days [F#m] in the desert [D] slum [Em] my skin began to [F#] turn red.
[Em] After 3 days [F#m] in the desert fun [Em] I was looking at a river [D]
bed.
[Em] And the story it told [F#m] of a river [D] that flowed [Em] made me sad to think it [F#] was dead.
[Em] You see I've been through the desert [Bm] on a horse with no name,
It [Em] felt good to be out [F#m] of the rain.
[E] [Em] In the desert, you [F#m] can't remember your [Em] name,
Cause there ain't no one [F#] born to give you [Em] no pain.

After [Em] nine days, I [F#m] let the horse [D] run free,
[Em] Cause the desert had turned [F#] to sea.
[Em] There were plants and birds [F#m] and rocks [B] and things,
[Em] There was sand and hills [A] and rain.
[Em] The ocean is a desert [E] with its life underground,
[Em] And the perfect disguise [F#m]
above.
[Em] Under the cities, [F#m] lies a heart [D] made of brown,
[Em] But the humans will give [A] no love.
