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

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

[D] [Em] nine days [F#m] I let the horse [G] run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds [F#m] and rocks [G] and things
There was sand and hills and rains
The ocean is a desert [D] with its life underground
[Em] And the perfect disguise [D] above
[Em] Under the cities
[F#m] My little heart made of brown
[Em] But the humans will give [A] no love
[Em] You see I've been through the desert [D] on a horse with no [Em] name
