| On the | first part of the | journey |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| I was | looking at all the | life |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| There were | plants and birds and | rocks and things |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| There were | sand and hills and | rings |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| The | first thing I met was a | fly with a buzz |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| And the | sky with no cl | ouds |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| The | heat was hot and the g | round was dry |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| But the | air was full of so | und |

| I’ve | been through the desert on a | horse with no name |

| After | two days in the | desert sun |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| My s | kin began to turn | red |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| After t | hree days in the | desert fun |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| I was | looking at a river | bed |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| And the | story it told of a | river that flowed |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| Made me | sad to think it was | dead |
| Em9 | D69/F# | |
| You see I’ve | been through the desert on a | horse with no name |
| Em9 | D69/F# | |
| It felt g | ood to be out of the | rain |
| Em9 | D69/F# | |

| Em9 | D69/F# | |
| ‘Cause | there ain’t no one for to | give you no pain |

| After | nine days I let the | horse run free |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| ‘Cause the | desert had turned to | sea |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| There were | plants and birds and | rocks and things |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| There were | sand and hills and | rings |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| The | ocean is a desert with its | life underground |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| And a | perfect disguise | above |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| Under the | cities lies a | heart made of ground |
| Em | D69/F# | |
| But the | humans will give no | love |
| Em9 | D69/F# | |
