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.
[Em] _ In the desert, you [Bm] can't remember [Em] your name,
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
