Em9 Em9  F#m Bm9 x2

Verse 1:
    Em9        F#m  Bm9
On the first part of the journey
   Em9         F#m  Bm9
I was looking at all the life
      Em9          F#m   Bm9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
      Em9        F#m   Bm9
There were sand and hills and rings
  Em9           F#m     Bm9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
    Em9      F#m  Bm9
And the sky with no clouds
  Em9         F#m     Bm9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
    Em9       F#m   Bm9
But the air was full of sound

Chorus:
   Em9             F#m       Bm9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    Em9          F#m   Bm9
It felt good to be out of the rain
    Em9       F#m     Bm9
In the desert you can remember your name
       Em9         F#m      Bm9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9     F#m    Bm9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9     F#m    Bm9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la


Verse 2:
   Em9       F#m   Bm9
After two days in the desert sun
  Em9        F#m    Bm9
My skin began to turn red
   Em9        F#m   Bm9
After three days in the desert fun
   Em9         F#m  Bm9
I was looking at a river bed
    Em9         F#m     Bm9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
    Em9         F#m  Bm9
Made me sad to think it was dead


Chorus:
   Em9             F#m       Bm9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    Em9          F#m   Bm9
It felt good to be out of the rain
    Em9       F#m     Bm9
In the desert you can remember your name
       Em9         F#m      Bm9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9     F#m    Bm9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9     F#m    Bm9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la


Verse 3:
   Em9         F#m    Bm9
After nine days I let the horse run free
      Em9          F#m  Bm9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
      Em9          F#m     Bm9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
      Em9         F#m   Bm9
There were sand and hills and rings
  Em9             F#m     Bm9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
   Em9        F#m   Bm9
And a perfect disguise above
     Em9      F#m       Bm9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
    Em9         F#m  Bm9
But the humans will give no love


Chorus:
       Em9             F#m       Bm9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
    Em9          F#m    Bm9
It felt good to be out of the rain
    Em9       F#m      Bm9
In the desert you can remember your name
    Em9            F#m     Bm9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
Em9    F#m   Bm9    Em9   F#m   Bm9
La, la, la lala la la, lala, la, la, la
