Intro :
[Em] [D6add9/F#]
x2

1 - On the [Em]first part of the j[D6add9/F#]ourney
I was [Em]looking at all the l[D6add9/F#]ife
There were [Em]plants and birds and r[D6add9/F#]ocks and things
There was [Em]sand and hills and r[D6add9/F#]ings

The [Em]first thing I met was a [D6add9/F#]fly with a buzz
And the [Em]sky with no cl[D6add9/F#]ouds
The [Em]heat was hot and the [D6add9/F#]ground was dry
But the [Em]air was full of s[D6add9/F#]ound

Refrain :
I've [Em]been through the desert on a [D6add9/F#]horse with no name
It felt [Em]good to be out of the [D6add9/F#]rain
In the [Em]desert you can re[D6add9/F#]member your name
'Cause there [Em]ain't no one for to [D6add9/F#]give you no pain

2 - After [Em]two days in the [D6add9/F#]desert sun
My [Em]skin began to turn [D6add9/F#]red
After [Em]three days in the [D6add9/F#]desert fun
I was [Em]looking at a river bed[D6add9/F#]
And the [Em]story it told of a [D6add9/F#]river that flowed
Made me [Em]sad to think it was [D6add9/F#]dead

Refrain :
You see I've [Em]been through the desert on a [D6add9/F#]horse with no name
It felt [Em]good to be out of the [D6add9/F#]rain
In the [Em]desert you can re[D6add9/F#]member your name
'Cause there [Em]ain't no one for to [D6add9/F#]give you no pain

3 - After [Em]nine days I let the [D6add9/F#]horse run free
'Cause the [Em]desert had turned to sea[D6add9/F#]
There were [Em]plants and birds and r[D6add9/F#]ocks and things
there was [Em]sand and hills and r[D6add9/F#]ings
The [Em]ocean is a desert with it's [D6add9/F#]life underground
And a [Em]perfect disguise a[D6add9/F#]bove
Under the c[Em]ities lies a [D6add9/F#]heart made of ground
But the [Em]humans will give no love[D6add9/F#]

Refrain :
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
