Lyrics
On the (Em)first part of I the let jour the horse ney run free I was (Em)look ing at all the life.
There were (Em)plants and birds and rocks and things, there were (Em)sand and hills and rings.
The (Em)first o cean thing is I a met des ert was with a its (D6/9)fly with a buzz and the (Em)sky per fect dis guise with no clouds.
Un der The the (Em)heat cit ies was hot and the (D6/9)ground heart made was dry, but the (Em)air hu mans was full of sound.
You see, I’ve I’ve (Em9)been through the des ert on a (Dmaj9)horse with no name.
It felt (Em9)good to be out of the (Dmaj9)rain.
In the (Em9)des ert you can re (Dmaj9)mem ber your name ’cause there (Em9)ain’t no one for to (Dmaj9)give you no pain.
(Em9)La la la (Dmaj9)la la la la la la (Em9)la la la.
(Em9)La la la (Dmaj9)la la la la la la (Em9)la la la.
Af ter (Em)two days in the (D6/9)des ert sun, my (Em)skin be gan to turn (D6/9)red.
Af ter (Em)three days in the (D6/9)des ert fun, I was (Em)look ing at a riv er bed.
And the (Em)sto ry is told of a (D6/9)riv er that flowed; made me (Em)sad to think it was (D6/9)dead.
You see, I’ve (Em9)been through the des ert on a (Dmaj9)horse with no name.

In the (Em9)des ert you can re (Dmaj9)mem ber your name ’cause there (Em9)ain’t no one for to (Dmaj9)give you no pain.
