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.

FGCC7 I see the night that she's alone FGC I keep thinking back to home. FGE7Am I've got that feeling I know that it shows FGC I missed my sweet desert rose. FGCC7 Shines like the stars in the sky FGC A breath of life in a well gone dry. FGE7Am She picks me up when I feel it so low. FGC She's my sweet desert rose. FGC Ain't no money in our home town FCG And the mills have all shut down. FGE7Am They say there's work but it's always the next town. FGC Will you still love me when I'm gone. FGC Will you still love me when I'm gone FGC Though the empty nights and the days so long. FGE7Am I'm not the same and I guess that it shows FGC I missed my sweet desert rose.
SOLO
FGC I hear the wind blowing in the night. FGC Winter's come and it just ain't right. FGE7Am This loneliness but it comes and it goes. FGC I love my sweet desert rose FGC Ain't no money in our home town FCG And the mills have all shut down. FGE7Am They say there's work but it's always the next town. FGC Will you still love me when I'm gone FGC I love my sweet desert rose FGC I love my sweet desert rose
