Gm Gm F6/9

Gm F6/9On the first part of the journey

Gm F6/9I was looking at all the life

Gm F6/9There were plants and birds and rocks and things

Gm F6/9There were sand and hills and rings

Gm F6/9The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

Gm F6/9And the sky with no clouds

Gm F6/9The heat was hot and the ground was dry

Gm F6/9But the air was full of sound

Gm9 Fmaj9I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

Gm9 Fmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

Gm9 Fmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

Gm9 Fmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm F6/9After two days in the desert sun

Gm F6/9My skin began to turn red

Gm F6/9After three days in the desert fun

Gm F6/9I was looking at a river bed

Gm F6/9And the story it told of a river that flowed

Gm F6/9Made me sad to think it was dead

Gm9 Fmaj9You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

Gm9 Fmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

Gm9 Fmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

Gm9 Fmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm F6/9After nine days I let the horse run free

Gm F6/9'Cause the desert had turned to sea

Gm F6/9There were plants and birds and rocks and things

Gm F6/9There were sand and hills and rings

Gm F6/9The ocean is a desert with its life underground

Gm F6/9And a perfect disguise above

Gm F6/9Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

Gm F6/9But the humans will give no love

Gm9 Fmaj9You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

Gm9 Fmaj9It felt good to be out of the rain

Gm9 Fmaj9In the desert you can remember your name

Gm9 Fmaj9'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la

Gm9 Fmaj9La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
