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                          D6add9
         I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
                 Em9                   D6add9
         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                Em9                D6add9
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                     Em9                  D6add9
         '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                          D6add9

         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                Em9                D6add9
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                     Em9                  D6add9
         'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

Verse 3: A           Em9                 D6add9
              After nine days I let the horse run free
                    Em9                D6add9  Bm7
         'Cause the desert had turned to sea
                     Em9               D6add9      Bm7
         There were plants and birds and rocks and things
                  Em9               D6add9   Bm7
         There was sand and hills and rings
             Em9                           D6add9
         The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
               Em9              D6add9
         And a perfect disguise above
                   Em9           D6add9
         Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
                 Em9                 D/A
         But the humans will give no love


Chorus:       Em9                          D6add9
         I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
                 Em9                   D6add9
         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                Em9                D6add9
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                     Em9                  D6add9
         'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
