[Verse1]
On the [Em]first part of the [D6/9]journey
I was l[Em]lookin at all the l[D6/9]life
There were p[Em]plants and birds and[D6/9]and rocks and things
There were s[Em]sand and hills and [D6/9]rings
The fir[Em]first thing I met was a[D6/9]a fly with a buzz
and the s[Em]sky with no cl[D6/9]clouds
the h[Em]heat was hot and the g[D6/9]ground was dry
but the a[Em]air was full of s[D6/9]sound
[Chorus]
I've b[Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
it felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
in the [Em9]desert you can[Dmaj9]can remember your name
'cause there a[Em9]ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
La [Em9]la la[Dmaj9]la la lala la lala
[Em9]la la l[Dmaj9]la
[Verse2]
After t[Em]two days in the des[D6/9]desert sun
my s[Em]skin began to turn [D6/9]red
After t[Em]three days in the[D6/9]the desert fun
I was l[Em]looking at a river [D6/9]bed
And the [Em]story it told of a[D6/9]a river that flowed
made me[Em]me sad to think it wa[D6/9]was dead
[Chorus]
I've b[Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
it felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
in the [Em9]desert you can[Dmaj9]can remember your name
'cause there a[Em9]ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
la [Em9]la la[Dmaj9]la la lala la lala
[Em9]la la l[Dmaj9]la
[Verse3]
After n[Em]nine days I let the[D6/9]the horse run free
'cause the d[Em]desert had turned t[D6/9]to sea
there were p[Em]plants and birds and [D6/9]rocks and things
there were sa[Em]sand and hills and r[D6/9]rings
The oc[Em]ocean is a desert with it's [D6/9]life underground
and the pe[Em]perfect disguise a[D6/9]above
Under the ci[Em]cities lies a h[D6/9]heart made of ground
but the h[Em]humans will give no [D6/9]love
[Chorus]
I've b[Em9]been through the desert on a [Dmaj9]horse with no name
it felt [Em9]good to be out of the [Dmaj9]rain
in the [Em9]desert you can[Dmaj9]can remember your name
'cause there a[Em9]ain't no one for to [Dmaj9]give you no pain
la [Em9]la la[Dmaj9]la la lala la lala
[Em9]la la l[Dmaj9]la
