Intro
F#m F#m E6/9 E6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
F#m E6/9
On the first part of the journey
F#m E6/9
I was looking at all the life
F#m E6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
F#m E6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
F#m E6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
F#m E6/9
And the sky with no clouds
F#m E6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
F#m E6/9
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
F#m9 Emaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
F#m9 Emaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
F#m9 Emaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
F#m9 Emaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
F#m E6/9
After two days in the desert sun
F#m E6/9
My skin began to turn red
F#m E6/9
After three days in the desert fun
F#m E6/9
I was looking at a river bed
F#m E6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
F#m E6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
F#m9 Emaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
F#m9 Emaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
F#m9 Emaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
F#m9 Emaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
F#m E6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
F#m E6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
F#m E6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
F#m E6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
F#m E6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
F#m E6/9
And a perfect disguise above
F#m E6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
F#m E6/9
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
F#m9 Emaj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
F#m9 Emaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
F#m9 Emaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
F#m9 Emaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
F#m9 Emaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
