Verse 1: Em D/F# Em D/F#
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life
Em D/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D/F#
There was sand and hills and rings
Em D/F# Bm7
The first thing i met was a fly with a buzz
Em D/F# Bm7
And the sky with no clouds
Em D/F# Bm7
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D/F# D/A
But the air was full of sound

Chorus Em9 D add9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 D add9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 D add9
In the desert you can't remember your name
Em9 D add9
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

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

Chorus Em9 D add9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

Verse 3 A Em9 D add9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em9 D add9 Bm7
Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em9 D add9 Bm7
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em9 D add9 Bm7
There was sand and hills and rings
Em9 D add9
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
Em9 D add9
And a perfect disguise above
Em9 D add9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em9 D/A
But the humans will give no love

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 D add9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 D add9

Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
