INTRO
[E][|][D][|][E][|][D]

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

CHORUS
I've [|][Em]been through the desert on a [|]
[D]horse with no name, It felt [|][Em]good to 
be out of the [|][D]rain. In the [|][Em]desert you 
can't re[|][D]member your name. 'Cause 
there [|][Em]ain't no one for to [|][D]give you no pain. [|]

[Em]La.. la.. [|][D]la, la, la la.. la, la [|][Em]la la, [|][D]la.. [|]
[Em]La.. la.. [|][D]la, la, la la.. la, la [|][Em]la la, [|][D]la.. 
 
VERSE 2
After [|][Em]two days in the [|][D]desert sun, 
my [|][Em]skin began to turn [|][D]red
After [|][Em]three days in the [|][D]desert fun,
I was [|][Em]looking at a river[|][D]bed. And the [|]
[Em]story it told of a [|][D]river that flowed
Made me [|][Em]sad to think it was [|][D]dead. 

CHORUS
I've [|][Em]been through the desert on a [|]
[D]horse with no name, It felt [|][Em]good to 
be out of the [|][D]rain. In the [|][Em]desert you 
can't re[|][D]member your name. 'Cause 
there [|][Em]ain't no one for to [|][D]give you no pain. [|]

[Em]La.. la.. [|][D]la, la, la la.. la, la [|][Em]la la, [|][D]la..
[Em]La.. la.. [|][D]la, la, la la.. la, la [|][Em]la la, [|][D][\]la.. 

| Em | D | Em | D |
| Em | D | Em | D |

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

CHORUS
I've [|][Em]been through the desert on a [|]
[D]horse with no name, It felt [|][Em]good to 
be out of the [|][D]rain. In the [|][Em]desert you 
can't re[|][D]member your name. 'Cause 
there [|][Em]ain't no one for to [|][D]give you no pain. [|]
