INTRO: Em  D6/9  Em  D6/9

VERSE:

            Em                       D6/9 
On the first part of the journey
             Em                  D6/9 
I was lookin at all the life
                   Em                        D6/9 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
                    Em                     D6/9 
There were sand and hills and rings

       Em                              D6/9 
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
         Em                       D6/9 
and the sky with no clouds
       Em                          D6/9 
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
           Em               D6/9 
but the air was full of sound

CHORUS:

       Em                                    D6/9 
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
            Em                      D6/9 
it felt good to be out of the rain
          Em                  D6/9 
in the desert you can remember your name
                    Em                         D6/9 
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
      Em   D6/9            Em   D6/9
