C#m C#m B6/9

C#m B6/9On the first part of the journey

C#m B6/9I was looking at all the life

C#m B6/9There were plants and birds and rocks and things

C#m B6/9There were sand and hills and rings

C#m B6/9The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

C#m B6/9And the sky with no clouds

C#m B6/9The heat was hot and the ground was dry

C#m B6/9But the air was full of sound

C#m9 Bmaj9I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

C#m9 Bmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

C#m9 Bmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

C#m9 Bmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m B6/9After two days in the desert sun

C#m B6/9My skin began to turn red

C#m B6/9After three days in the desert fun

C#m B6/9I was looking at a river bed

C#m B6/9And the story it told of a river that flowed

C#m B6/9Made me sad to think it was dead

C#m9 Bmaj9You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

C#m9 Bmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

C#m9 Bmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

C#m9 Bmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m B6/9After nine days I let the horse run free

C#m B6/9'Cause the desert had turned to sea

C#m B6/9There were plants and birds and rocks and things

C#m B6/9There were sand and hills and rings

C#m B6/9The ocean is a desert with its life underground

C#m B6/9And a perfect disguise above

C#m B6/9Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

C#m B6/9But the humans will give no love

C#m9 Bmaj9You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

C#m9 Bmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

C#m9 Bmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

C#m9 Bmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

C#m9 Bmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
