[Intro]
Em   D6/9   x2

[Verse 1]
Em                 D6/9
On the first part of the journey
Em                  D6/9
I was looking at all the life
Em                    D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em                  D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em                      D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em            D6/9
And the sky with no clouds
Em                   D6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em                D6/9
But the air was full of sound

[Chorus]
     Em9                          Dmaj9             
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9              Dmaj9           
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9           
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

[Verse 2]
Em              D6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Em                 D6/9
My skin began to turn red
Em                D6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Em                  D6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Em                 D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em                  D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead

[Chorus]
             Em9                          Dmaj9             
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9              Dmaj9           
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9           
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    Em9        Dmaj9            
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
     Em9         Dmaj9          
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

[Solo]
Em   D6/9   x4

[Verse 3]
Em                  D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em                    D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em                    D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em                  D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em                         D6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em                 D6/9
And a perfect disguise above
Em            D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em                   D6/9
But the humans will give no love

[Chorus]
              Em9                          Dmaj9             
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
        Em9                   Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
       Em9              Dmaj9           
In the desert you can remember your name
             Em9                 Dmaj9           
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9         Dmaj9               
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
