[Verse 1]
Em D
On the first part of the journey
Em D
I was lookin at all the life
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D
and the sky with no clouds
Em D
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D
but the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Em D
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D
in the desert you can remember your name
Em D
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D
La la la la lala la lala
Em D
la la la
[Verse 2]
Em D
After two days in the desert sun
Em D
my skin began to turn red
Em D
After three days in the desert fun
Em D
I was looking at a river bed
Em D
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D
made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Em D
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D
in the desert you can remember your name
Em D
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D
la la la la lala la lala
Em D
la la la
[Verse 3]
Em D
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D
'cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
there were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
Em D
and the perfect disguise above
Em D
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D
but the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Em D
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em D
it felt good to be out of the rain
Em D
in the desert you can remember your name
Em D
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em D
la la la la lala la lala
Em D
la la la
