Lyrics and Chords
Intro: 0:00 Em | Dadd9/F# - x2 Verse 1: 0:07 Em On the first part Dadd9/F# Of the journey Em I was looking at Dadd9/F# All the life. 0:15 Em There were plants and birds Dadd9/F# And rocks and things. Em There were sand and hills Dadd9/F# And rains. 0:24 Em9 The first thing I met Dadd9/F# Was a fly with a buzz Em9 And the sky Dadd9/F# With no clouds. 0:31 Em9 The heat was hot Dadd9/F# And the ground was dry, Em9 But the air was Dadd9/F# Full of sounds. Chorus 1: 0:39 Em9 I've been through the desert Dadd9/F# On a horse with no name. Em9 It felt good to be out Dadd9/F# Of the rain. 0:47 Em9 In the desert Dadd9/F# You can remember your name Em9 'Cause there ain't no one for Dadd9/F# To give you no pain. Post-chorus 1: 0:55 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 1:02 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. Verse 2: 1:10 Em9 After two days Dadd9/F# In the desert sun Em9 My skin began Dadd9/F# To turn red. 1:17 Em9 After three days Dadd9/F# In the desert fun Em9 I was looking Dadd9/F# At a river bed. 1:25 Em9 And the story it told Dadd9/F# Of a river that flowed, Em9 Made me sad to think Dadd9/F# It was dead. Chorus 2: 1:33 Em9 You see, I've been through the desert Dadd9/F# On a horse with no name. Em9 It felt good to be out Dadd9/F# Of the rain. 1:41 Em9 In the desert Dadd9/F# You can remember your name Em9 'Cause there ain't no one for Dadd9/F# To give you no pain. Post-chorus 2: 1:48 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 1:56 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. Solo: 2:04 2:12 Em9 | D7M9 - x4 Verse 3: 2:19 Em9 After nine days Dadd9/F# I let the horse run free Em9 'Cause the desert Dadd9/F# Had turned to sea. 2:27 Em9 There were plants and birds Dadd9/F# And rocks and things. Em9 There were sand and hills Dadd9/F# And rains. 2:35 Em9 The ocean is a desert Dadd9/F# With a life underground Em9 And a perfect disguise Dadd9/F# Above. 2:42 Em9 Under the cities lies Dadd9/F# A heart made of ground, Em9 But the humans Dadd9/F# Will give no love. Chorus 3: 2:50 Em9 You see, I've been through the desert Dadd9/F# On a horse with no name. Em9 It felt good to be out Dadd9/F# Of the rain. 2:58 Em9 In the desert Dadd9/F# You can remember your name Em9 'Cause there ain't no one for Dadd9/F# To give you no pain. Coda: 3:05 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:13 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:21 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:28 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:37 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:44 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 3:52 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la. 4:00 Em9 Dadd9/F# La la, la-la-la, la, Em9 Dadd9/F# La-la-la, la, la...
