[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 [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 [Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la [Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
