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
[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
