Intro -
|Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - |
Verse 1 -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x4
On the (Em)first part of the
(D)journey
I was
(Em)looking at all the (D)life
There were
(Em)plants and birds and
(D)rocks and things
There was
(Em)sand and hills and
(D)rings
The
(Em)first thing I met was a (D)fly with a buzz
And the
(Em)sky with no
(D)clouds
The
(Em)heat was hot and the
(D)ground was dry
But the (Em)air was full of
(D)sound
Chorus -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x4
I've (Em)been through the desert on a
(D)horse with no name
It felt
(Em)good to be out of the (D)rain
In the
(Em)desert you can re(D)member your name
'Cause there
(Em)ain't no one for to (D)give you no pain
(Em)Laa, laa, La-(D)uh, la, la, la.
la la, (Em)Luh, laah, (D)Luh
(Em)Laa, laa, La-(D)uh, la, la, la.
la la, (Em)Luh, laah, (D)Luh
Verse 2 -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x3
After (Em)two days in the
(D)desert sun
My
(Em)skin began to turn
(D)red
After
(Em)three days in the (D)desert fun
I was
(Em)looking at a river
(D)bed
And the
(Em)story it told of a
(D)river that flowed
Made me
(Em)sad to think it was
(D)dead
Chorus
Middle 8 -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x2
Verse 3 -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x4
After (Em)nine days I let the (D)horse run free
'Cause the
(Em)desert had turned to
(D)sea
There were
(Em)plants and birds and
(D)rocks and things
there was
(Em)sand and hills and (D)rings
The (Em)ocean is a desert with it's
(D)life underground
And a
(Em)perfect disguise a(D)bove
Under the (Em)cities lies a
(D)heart made of ground
But the
(Em)humans will give no (D)love
Chorus -
||Em - - - |D - - - |Em - - - |D - - - || x4 (Fade Out)
I've (Em)been through the desert on a (D)horse with no name
It felt (Em)good to be out of the (D)rain
In the (Em)desert you can re(D)member your name
'Cause there (Em)ain't no one for to (D)give you no pain
(Em)Laa, laa, La-(D)uh, la, la, la.
la la, (Em)Luh, laah, (D)Luh
(Em)Laa, laa, La-(D)uh, la, la, la.
la la, (Em)Luh, laah, (D)Luh
