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

[Em] After nine days, I [F#m] let the horse [A] run free, [Em] cause the desert had turned to [F#m] sea.
.
[E] There were plants [Em] and birds [A] and rocks and things.
[E] There was [Em] sand and hills [A] and rings.
.
[Em] The ocean is a desert [D] with its [A] life underground [Em] and the perfect disguise [D] of [A] a. Under [Em] the cities [A] lies a heart made of ground, but [Em] the human will give [A] no love.
