Lyrics and Chords
Intro: 0:00 Em | D - x2 Verse 1: 0:07 Em On the first part D Of the journey Em I was looking at D All the life. 0:15 Em There were plants and birds D And rocks and things. Em There were sand and hills D And rains. 0:24 Em The first thing I met D Was a fly with a buzz Em And the sky D With no clouds. 0:31 Em The heat was hot D And the ground was dry, Em But the air was D Full of sounds. Chorus 1: 0:39 Em I've been through the desert D On a horse with no name. Em It felt good to be out D Of the rain. 0:47 Em In the desert D You can remember your name Em 'Cause there ain't no one for D To give you no pain. Post-chorus 1: 0:55 Em D La la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 1:02 Em D La la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. Verse 2: 1:10 Em After two days D In the desert sun Em My skin began D To turn red. 1:17 Em After three days D In the desert fun Em I was looking D At a river bed. 1:25 Em And the story it told D Of a river that flowed, Em Made me sad to think D It was dead. Chorus 2: 1:33 Em You see, I've been through the desert D On a horse with no name. Em It felt good to be out D Of the rain. 1:41 Em In the desert D You can remember your name Em 'Cause there ain't no one for D To give you no pain. Post-chorus 2: 1:48 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 1:56 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. Solo: 2:04 2:12 Em | D7 - x4 Verse 3: 2:19 Em After nine days D I let the horse run free Em 'Cause the desert D Had turned to sea. 2:27 Em There were plants and birds D And rocks and things. Em There were sand and hills D And rains. 2:35 Em The ocean is a desert D With a life underground Em And a perfect disguise D Above. 2:42 Em Under the cities lies D A heart made of ground, Em But the humans D Will give no love. Chorus 3: 2:50 Em You see, I've been through the desert D On a horse with no name. Em It felt good to be out D Of the rain. 2:58 Em In the desert D You can remember your name Em 'Cause there ain't no one for D To give you no pain. Coda: 3:05 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:13 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:21 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:28 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:37 Em D La la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:44 Em D La la, la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 3:52 Em D La la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la. 4:00 Em D La la, la-la-la, la, Em D La-la-la, la, la...
