Em D6/9
      x2

Verse 1

       Em                D6/9
On the first part of the journey
      Em                 D6/9
I was looking at all the life
           Em                   D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
           Em                 D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
    Em                      D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
        Em          D6/9
And the sky with no clouds
    Em                   D6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
        Em              D6/9
But the air was full of sound

Chorus

     Em9                          Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9            Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em9        Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9        Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Verse 2

      Em              D6/9
After two days in the desert sun
   Em                 D6/9
My skin began to turn red
      Em                D6/9
After three days in the desert fun
      Em                 D6/9
I was looking at a river bed
        Em                 D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
        Em                  D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead

Chorus

             Em9                          Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9            Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

    Em9    Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
    Em9         Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Verse 3

      Em                  D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
           Em                   D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
           Em                   D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
           Em                 D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
    Em                         D6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
      Em               D6/9
And a perfect disguise above
          Em            D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
        Em                  D6/9
But the humans will give no love

Chorus

              Em9                          Dmaj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9            Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em9        Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9        Dmaj9
