The Desert Rose Band was an American country rock band from California, founded in 1985 by Chris Hillman (formerly of The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers), and Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson. Also in the original lineup were Bill Bryson (bass guitar), Jay Dee Maness (pedal steel guitar), and Steve Duncan (drums). Herb sang the high tenor part above Chris' tenor and each Desert Rose Band album featured Herb on one lead vocal. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the band charted several singles on the U.

Desert Rose Band Darkness On The Playground by Chris Hillman Steve Hill
D AsusADDsusD There's trouble on the streets in this land of the free AsusADDsusD Freedom has a price and you know it don't come cheap BmA When our children are tempted left all alone GE Seeking the values they can't find at home GADDsusD There's darkness on the playground where did right go wrong AsusADDsusD It's nobodys fault but it's here just the same AsusADDsusD Some kind of disease and no one takes the blame BmA Oh you can say to me what's the use GE Play too hard you know you'll light the fire GADDsusD There's darkness on the playground will we win or will we lose GDGG/F# A Darkness taking all of your dreams EmGA Living in shadows is not what it seems GDGG/F# A Hold on hold me you don't have to die EmGADDsusD Arms out reaching for a new life AsusADDsusD To turn away is easy to follow only fools AsusADDsusD And the way back in is hard it's a brand new set of rules BmA I can't show you any more lies GE I only hope that you realize GAD There's darkness on the playground and nothing left to hide
