VERSE 1:
On the [Em] first part of the [D6add9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6add9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6add9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6add9] rings
PRE-CHORUS 1:
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6add9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6add9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6add9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6add9] sound
CHORUS:
I've [Em] been through the desert on a [D6add9] horse with no name
It felt [Em] good to be out of the [D6add9] rain
In the [Em] desert you can re-[D6add9]-member your name
Cause there [Em] ain't no-one for to [D6add9] give you no pain
POST-CHORUS: [Em] la la la; [D6add9] la la la la; la la [Em] la la [D6add9] la [Em] la la la; [D6add9] la la la la; la la [Em] la la [D6add9] la
VERSE 2:
After [Em] two days in the [D6add9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6add9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6add9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6add9] bed
PRE-CHORUS 2:
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6add9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6add9] dead; you see
VERSE 3:
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6add9] horse run free
Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6add9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6add9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6add9] rings
PRE-CHORUS 3:
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6add9] life underground
And the [Em] perfect disguise a-[D6add9]-bove
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6add9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6add9] love; you see
