Intro 6x: Em D6/F#

       Em                D6/F#
On the first part of the journey
      Em                D6/F#
I was looking at all the life
      Em                D6/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
      Em                D6/F#
There was sand and hills and rings
      Em                D6/F#
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
      Em                D6/F#
And the sky with no clouds
      Em                D6/F#
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
      Em                D6/F#
But the air was full of sound

     Em                D6/F#
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
     Em                D6/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
     Em                D6/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
     Em                D6/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    Em                D6/F#
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...

( Em D6/F# )

      Em                D6/F#
After two days in the desert sun
    Em                D6/F#
My skin began to turn red
    Em                D6/F#
After three days in the desert fun
    Em                D6/F#
I was looking at a river bed
    Em                D6/F#
And the story it told of a river that flowed
     Em                D6/F#
Made me sad to think it was dead

       Em                       D6/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
         Em                D6/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
    Em                D6/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
       Em                D6/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
        Em                D6/F#
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...

      Em                D6/F#
After nine days I let the horse run free
      Em                D6/F#
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
      Em                D6/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
     Em                D6/F#
there was sand and hills and rings
     Em                D6/F#
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
     Em                D6/F#
And a perfect disguise above
      Em                D6/F#
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
    Em                D6/F#
But the humans will give no love

             Em                            D6/F#
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
     Em                D6/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
     Em                D6/F#
In the desert you can remember your name
     Em                D6/F#
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    Em                D6/F#
La, la, la , la, la, la, la....
