Intro:        |  |  |


Verse 1:                                                     
         On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life.
                                       
         There were plants and birds and rocks and things,
                                     
         There was sand and hills and rings.
                                          
         The first thing i met was a fly with a buzz
                                  
         And the sky with no clouds.
                                        
         The heat was hot and the ground was dry,
                                   
         But the air was full of sound.

Chorus:                                 /9/
         I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
                                    /9/
         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                                /9/
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                                       /9/
         'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

Verse 2:                                                  
         After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red
                                
         After three days in the desert fun,
                               
         I was looking at a river bed.
                                  
         And the story it told of a river that flowed
                                     
         Made me sad to think it was dead.


Chorus:                                 /9/
         I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
                                    /9/
         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                                /9/
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                                       /9/
         'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

          La la, la la    la la la, la la la, la la.

Verse 3:                             /9/
              After nine days I let the horse run free
                                    /9/  
         ’Cause the desert had turned to sea
                                    /9/      
         There were plants and birds and rocks and things
                                 /9/   
         There was sand and hills and rings
                                        /9/
         The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground
                             /9/
         And a perfect disguise above
                              /9/
         Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
                                  
         But the humans will give no love


Chorus:                                 /9/
         I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
                                    /9/
         It felt good to be out of the rain.
                                /9/
         In the desert you can't remember your name
                                       /9/
         'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
