A horse with no name
Dm Em Dm Em
1. On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life,
Dm
Em
there were plants and birds
and rocks and things,
Dm Em
there was sand and hills and
rings.
Dm Em Dm Em
The first thing I met was a
fly with a buzz, and the sky with no clouds,
Dm
Em
the heat was hot and the
ground was dry,
Dm Em
but the air was full of sound.
Dm
Em
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Dm
Em
it felt good to be out of the rain.
Dm Em
In the desert you can remember your name,
Dm Em
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
Dm Em Dm Em
Dm Em Dm Em
La la, la la la la, la la la la
la. La la, la la la la, la la la la la.

Dm Em Dm Em
after three days in the desert
fun I was looking at a river bed.
Dm Em
And the story it told of a
river that flowed,
Dm
Em
made me sad to think it was
dead.
Dm
Em
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Dm
Em
it felt good to be out of the rain.
Dm Em
In the desert you can remember your name,
Dm Em
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
Dm
Em Dm Em
Dm Em Dm Em
La la la , la la la la, la la la la
la. La la la, la la la la, la la la la la.
Dm Em
'cause the desert had turned
to sea,
Dm
Em
there were plants and birds
and rocks and things,
Dm Em
there was sand and hills and
rings.
Dm
Em
The ocean is a desert with
it's life underground,
Dm Em
and a perfect disguise above.
Dm Em
Under the cities lies a heart
made of ground,
Dm
Em
but the humans will give no
love.
Dm Em
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Dm
Em
it felt good to be out of the rain.
Dm Em
In the desert you can remember your name,
Dm Em
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

Dm Em Dm Em
La la la, la la la la, la la la la
la. La la la, la la la la, la la la la la.

Dm Em Dm Em
La la la, la la la la, la la la la
la. La la la, la la la la, la la la la la……
