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.

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.
