[Em] [Bm] [Em]
On the first part of [F#m] the journey, [Em]
I was looking at all the light.
There were plants and birds [D] and rocks and [G] things.
There was sand and hills and rains.
The first thing I met [F#m] was a fly with a [Em] buzz and the sky with [F#m] no clouds.
[G] The heat was hot and [F#m] the ground was [Em] dry but the air was full of [D]
sound.
[G] I've been through the desert on [D] a horse with no name.
[G] It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert, you can [D]
remember your [G] name
because there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
[Em] La, la, [Bm] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, la, [Bm]
[Em] [Bm]
[Em] la.
After two days in [F#m] the desert [D] sun, [G] my skin began to [A] turn red.
[Em] After three days in [D] the desert [Em] fun, I was looking at a river [D]
bed.
And [Em] the story it told of a river that flowed made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be up [D] above the rain
[Em] In the desert you [D] can't remember your name
[Em] Cause there ain't no one born to give you no pain
La la la [D]

[Em] After nine days I [F#m] let the horse run [G] 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 with its life underground
And the perfect disguise [D] of love
[Em] Under the cities [F#m] lies a heart made of brown
[Em] But the humans will give [F#m] no love
[Em] You see I've been through the desert [D] on a horse with no [Em] name
It felt good to be up [D] above the rain
[Em] In the desert you [Bm] can't remember [Em] your name
Cause there ain't no one [D] born to give you no pain
