Intro -x2-: Em    Em   D6    D6

Verse 1:
       Em                D6  
On the first part of the journey
      Em                 D6  
I was looking at all the life
           Em                   D6  
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
           Em                 D6  
There were sand and hills and rings
    Em                      D6  
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
        Em            D6  
And the sky with no clouds
    Em                    D6  
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
        Em                D6  
But the air was full of sound

Chorus:
     Em9                          D   
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   D   
It felt good to be out of the rain
        Em9              D   
In the desert you can remember your name
              Em9                D   
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Verse 2:
      Em              D6  
After two days in the desert sun
    Em                D6  
My skin began to turn red
       Em               D6  
After three days in the desert fun
      Em                 D6  
I was looking at a river bed
        Em                 D6  
And the story it told of a river that flowed
        Em                  D6  
Made me sad to think it was dead

Chorus:
             Em9                          D   
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
         Em9                  D   
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9             D   
In the desert you can remember your name
       Em9                       D   
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    Em9        D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
     Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Verse 3:
      Em                  D6  
After nine days I let the horse run free
           Em                   D6  
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
           Em                   D6  
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
           Em                 D6  
There were sand and hills and rings
    Em                         D6  
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
      Em               D6  
And a perfect disguise above
          Em            D6  
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
        Em                  D6  
But the humans will give no love

Chorus:
              Em9                          D   
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

In the desert you can remember your name
       Em9                       D   
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         D   
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
