[Intro]
(Em)(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)r0cks and things
There were (Em)sand and hills and (D)rings
The (Em)f!rst 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 0n a (D)horse with n0 name
It felt (Em)good t0 be out of the (D)rain
In the (Em)desert you can re(D)member y0ur name
‘Cause there (Em)ain’t no one for to (D)give you no pain
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la,la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la,la, 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]
You see I’ve (Em)been through the desert on a (D)horse with no name
It felt (Em)good t0 be out of the (D)rain
In the (Em)desert you can (D)remember your name
‘Cause (Em)there ain’t no one for to (D)give you no pain
La, (Em)la, la lala (D)la la la, la, la
La, (Em)la, la lala (D)la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
After (Em)nine days I let the (D)h0rse run free
‘Cause the (Em)desert had turned to (D)sea
There were (Em)plants and birds and (D)r0cks and things
There were (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 0f ground
But the (Em)humans will give no (D)love
[Chorus]
You see, I’ve (Em)been through the desert on a (D)horse with no name
It felt (Em)good t0 be out of the (D)rain
In the (Em)desert y0u can re(D)member your name
‘Cause (Em)there ain’t no one for to (D)give you no pain
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
(Em)La, la, la (D)lala la la la, la, la
