Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][C]
[Dm][C]

[Verse 1]
On the [Dm]first part of the [C]journey
I was [Dm]looking at all the [C]life
There were [Dm]plants and birds
and [C]rocks and things
There was [Dm]sand and hills and [C]rings

[Verse 2]
The [Dm]first thing I met
was a [Em]fly with a b[C]uzz
And the [Dm]sky with no [Em]clouds[C]
The [Dm]heat was hot
and the [Em]ground was [C]dry
But the [Dm]air was full of [Em]sound[C]

[Chorus 1]
I've [Dm]been through the desert on a
[Em]horse with no [C]name
It felt [Dm]good to be out of the [Em]rain[C]
In the [Dm]desert
you can re[Em]member your [C]name
'Cause there [Dm]ain't no one for to
[Em]give you no [C]pain

[Interlude 1]
[Dm]La, la, [Em]la...[C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
After [Dm]two days in the [Em]desert s[C]un
My [Dm]skin began to turn [Em]red[C]
And after [Dm]three days
in the [Em]desert [C]fun
I was [Dm]looking at a river [Em]bed[C]
And the [Dm]story it told
of a [Em]river that [C]flowed
Made me [Dm]sad to think
it was [Em]dead[C]

[Chorus 2]
You see I've [Dm]been through the desert on a
[Em]horse with no [C]name
It felt [Dm]good to be out of the [Em]rain[C]
In the [Dm]desert
you can re[Em]member your [C]name
'Cause there [Dm]ain't no one for to
[Em]give you no [C]pain

[Interlude 2]
La, [Dm]la, la, [Em]la...[C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][G]

[Solo 1]
[Dm][Em][Dm][G]
[Dm][Em][Dm][G]

[Verse 4]
After [Dm]nine days
I let the [Em]horse run [C]free
'Cause the [Dm]desert
had turned to [Em]sea[C]
There were [Dm]plants and birds and
[Em]rocks and [C]things
There was [Dm]sand
and hills and [Em]rings[C]

[Verse 5]
The [Dm]ocean is a desert
with it's [Em]life under[C]ground
And a [Dm]perfect disguise a[Em]bove[C]
Under the [Dm]cities
lies a [Em]heart made of [C]ground
But the [Dm]humans
will give no [Em]love[C]

[Chorus 3]
You see I've [Dm]been through the desert on a
[Em]horse with no [C]name
It felt [Dm]good to be out of the [Em]rain[C]
In the [Dm]desert
you can re[Em]member your [C]name
'Cause there [Dm]ain't no one for to
[Em]give you no [C]pain

[Outro 1]
La, [Dm]la, la, [Em]la...[C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][Em][C]
[Repeat and fade]
