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