America-Horse With No Name
[Intro - BPM 123 - No drums]
Em Em D6/9 (200200) D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
On the [Em] first part of the [D6/9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6/9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6/9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6/9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6/9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6/9] sound
[Chorus - Slap on snare drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2 - Slap on snare drums]
After [Em] two days in the [D6/9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6/9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6/9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6/9] bed
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6/9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6/9] dead
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
La, [Em9] la, la lala [Dmaj9] la la la, la, la
La, l [Em9] a, la lala l [Dmaj9] a la la, la, la
[Verse 3 - Drums stop]
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6/9] horse run free
'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6/9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
(bass drum in)
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6/9] life underground
And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6/9] above
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6/9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6/9] love
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

[E] [E] [E] [A] - like doobie brothers a bit
[Verse 1 - Drums in]
There's a [E] reason, for the sunshine in the sky
And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the [A] season, when that love light shines,
all a[E] round us. [E A]
So let that [E] feeling, grab you deep inside
And send you reeling, where your love can't hide
And then go [A] stealing, through the moonlit nights,
with your [E] lover. [E7]
[Chorus]
Just let your [A] love flow, like a mountain stream
And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [A] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]
Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,
and let your [E] love bind you to all living things
And let your [A] love shine, and you'll know what I mean,
that's the [E] reason. [Esus4] (just bass drum and E to Esus4 x 2)
[Verse 2]
There's a [E] reason, for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason, for the candle lights
Must be the [A] season, when those love lights shine,
all [E] around us. [E A]
So let that [E] wonder, take you into space
And lay you under, its loving embrace
Just feel the [A] thunder, as it warms your face,
you can't [E] hold back.[E7]
[Chorus]
Just let your [A] love flow, like a mountain stream
And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [A] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]
Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,
and let your [E] love bind you to all living things
And let your [A] love shine, and you'll know what I mean,
that's the [E] reason. [Esus4] (just bass drum and E to Esus4 x 2)

[C]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[D]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[Chorus 1 - to make chords more interesting can go from
G to C, C to Dm7 and D to Em7 figure]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
From the mountains of [C] faith to the river so [D] deep
I must be looking for [G] something, something sacred I [G] lost
But the river is [C] wide and it's too hard to [D] cross
[Verse 1]
[Em] Even though I know the [D] river is wide
I walk down [C] every evening and I [Bm] stand on the shore
[C] I try to cross to [Bm] the opposite side
So I can [A7] finally find out what I've been [D] looking for
(run down - x7777x x6777x x5777x x3555x x5777x)
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the valley of [C] fear to a river so [D] deep
I've been searching for [G] something taken out of my [G] soul
Something I could never [C] lose, something somebody [D] stole
[Verse 2]
[Em] I don't know why I go [D] walking at night
But now I'm [C] tired and I don't wanna [Bm] walk anymore
[C] I hope it doesn't take the [Bm] rest of my life
Until I [A7] find what it is I've been [D] looking for
(run down)
[Pause]
[Chorus 3]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the jungle of [C] doubt to the river so [D] deep
I know I'm searching for [G] something, something so [G] undefined
That it only can be [C] seen by the eyes of the [D] blind
In the middle of the [G] night [C] [D]
[Piano bit - add 7ths - bluesy]
[G] [C] [D] x 2
[Verse 3]
[Em] Not sure about a [D] life after this
God [C] knows I've never been a [Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by [Bm] fire, I wade into the [A7] river
That is runnin' through the [D] promised land
(run down)
[Double Pause]
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the desert of [C] truth to the river so [D] deep
We all end in the [G] ocean, we all start in the [G] streams
We're all carried a [C] long by the river of [D] dreams
In the middle of the [G] night
[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the

[Intro]
[D] [A] [C] [G]
[D] [A] [C] [G]
[Verse 1]
[D] A lonely mother gazing [A] out of her window
Staring a [C] t a son that she just can't t [G] ouch
If at any [D] time he's in a jam, she'll be [A] by his side
But he doesn't [C] realize he hurts her so [G] much
[D] But all the praying just ain't [A] helping at all
'cause he can't [C] seem to keep his self out of [G] trouble
So he goes out [D] and he makes his money the best [A] way he knows how
Another [C] body laying cold in the [G] gutter, listen to me
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Verse 2]
[D] Little precious has a [A] natural obsession
For temp [C] tation but he just can't [G] see
[D] She gives him loving that his [A] body can't handle
But all [C] he can say is "baby it's [G] good to me"
[D] One day he goes and takes a [A] glimpse in the mirror
But he [C] doesn't recognize his own [G] face
[D] His health is fading and he [A] doesn't know why
3 letters [C] took him to his final [G] resting place, y'all don't hear me?
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G] c'mon
[Verse 3]
[D] I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many [A] storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given [C] ray, is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
I pray all [G] ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[D] And like His promise is true only my faith can und [A]
The many chances I blew, to bring my life to a [C] new
Clear blue and unconditional skies, have dried the
[G] tears from my eyes, [N.C.] no more lonely cries
My [D] only bleedin' hope, is for the folk who can't cope
With such an end [A] urin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[C] Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
[G] What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You [D] claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey
to [A] crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[C] Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' [G] true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
[Chorus]
[D] Don't go chasing [A] waterfalls
Please stick to the [C] rivers and the lakes that you're [G] used to
I know that you're [D] gonna have it your way or [A] nothing at all
But I think you're [C] moving too fast [G]
