Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey
Em D6/9
I was lookin 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
Em D6/9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D6/9
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D6/9
in the desert you can remember your name
Em D6/9
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
la la la la lalala la la la la la
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
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 the 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
End on Em
