Em D/F#
On the first part of the journey
Em D/F#
I was looking at all the life
Em D/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D/F#
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D/F#
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D/F#
and the sky with no clouds
Em D/F#
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D/F#
But the air was full of sound
[Estribillo]
Em D/F#
I've been thru the desert on a horse with no name
Em D/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D/F#
In the desert you can't remember your name
Em D/F#
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em D/F#
After two days in the desert sun
Em D/F# My skin began to turn red
Em D/F#
After three days in the desert fun
Em D/F#
I was looking at a river bed
Em D/F#
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Estribillo]
Em D/F#
You see I've been thru the desert on a horse with no name
Em D/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D/F#
In the desert you can't remember your name
Em D/F#
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Em D/F#
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D/F#
Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D/F#
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D/F#
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D/F#
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D/F#
And the perfect disguise above
Em D/F#
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D/F#
But the humans will give no love
[Estribillo]
Em D/F#
I've been thru the desert on a horse with no name
Em D/F#
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em D/F#
In the desert you can't remember your name
Em D/F#
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
