Intro
D#m D#m C#6/9 C#6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
D#m C#6/9
On the first part of the journey
D#m C#6/9
I was looking at all the life
D#m C#6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
D#m C#6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
D#m C#6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
D#m C#6/9
And the sky with no clouds
D#m C#6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
D#m C#6/9
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
D#m9 C#maj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
D#m9 C#maj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
D#m9 C#maj9
In the desert you can remember your name
D#m9 C#maj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
D#m C#6/9
After two days in the desert sun
D#m C#6/9
My skin began to turn red
D#m C#6/9
After three days in the desert fun
D#m C#6/9
I was looking at a river bed
D#m C#6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
D#m C#6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
D#m9 C#maj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
D#m9 C#maj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
D#m9 C#maj9
In the desert you can remember your name
D#m9 C#maj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
D#m C#6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
D#m C#6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
D#m C#6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
D#m C#6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
D#m C#6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
D#m C#6/9
And a perfect disguise above
D#m C#6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
D#m C#6/9
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
D#m9 C#maj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
D#m9 C#maj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
D#m9 C#maj9
In the desert you can remember your name
D#m9 C#maj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
D#m9 C#maj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
