Tom: Em Em D6/9 On the first part of the journey Em D6/9 I was lookin at all the life Em D6/9 There were plants and birds and rocks and things Em D6/9 There were sand and hills and rings Em D6/9 The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz Em D6/9 And the sky with no clouds Em D6/9 The heat was hot and the ground was dry Em D6/9 But the air was full of sound Chorus: Em9 Dmaj9 I've been through the desert on a horse with no name Em9 Dmaj9 It felt good to be out of the rain Em9 Dmaj9 In the desert you can remember your name Em9 Dmaj9 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain Em9 Dmaj9 la la la la la la la la la la la la Em D6/9 After two days in the desert sun Em D6/9 My skin began to turn red Em D6/9 After three days in the desert fun Em D6/9 I was looking at a river bed Em And the story it told of a river that flowed D6/9 Made me sad to think it was dead **Chorus Em D6/9 After nine days I let the horse run free Em D6/9 'Cause the desert had turned to sea Em D6/9 There were plants and birds and rocks and things Em D6/9 There were sand and hills and rings Em D6/9 The ocean is a desert with it's life underground Em D6/9 And the perfect disguise above Em D6/9 Under the cities lies a heart made of ground Em D6/9 But the humans will give no love **Chorus
