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
