[Em] [D]
[Em]
On the first part of [F#m] the [Em] journey, I was looking at all the life.
There were plants, birds, and [D] rocks and [G] things.
There was sand and hills and rains.
The first thing I met [D] was a flower, a [G] buzz, and the sky with no [F#m]
[G] clouds.
The heat was hot [F#m] and the ground was dry, [G] but the air was full [F#m] of [G] sound.
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, cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

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

[Em] After nine days, I [F#m] let the horse run free,
[G] 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,
[G] And a perfect disguise [D] above.
[G] Under the city's [F#m] eyes a heart made of brown,
But [Em] the [G] humans will give [F#m] no love.
You [Em] see I've been through the desert [D] on a horse with [Em] no name,
It felt good to be up [Bm] of the rain.
