-5 -5*    6   6   6    -5  6  6
On the first part  of the journ-----ey 
-5  -5*  6   6  -5  6  6  -5   6__  
I was looking at  all the life 
-5 -5*    6 -5    6 -5  6    6    6 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
6    -5 6   -5 6   -5  6__ 
And the sands and hills and rings 
-5 6    6 -5  6    6  -5   6   6   -5   6     
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz 
6   -5  6     6  6  -5  6__
And the sky with no clouds (1st Repeat to Chorus)
-5  6    -5  6  6    -5 6    -5  6 
The heat was hot and the ground was dry 
6   -5 6   -5  6  6  -5  6__
But the air was full of   sounds 
-5 6    6  6  6  6  6  6 -5  -4  -4  -4 
I been through the desert on a horse with no name 
-4  -5    6  6  6  6  6  6  -5  -4_ 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
-5  -5   6  6    6  6  6  -5  -4  -4  -4  
In the desert  you can remember your name 
-5  -5  6    6    6     6  6  -5  -4  -4  -4
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
6    -8 -8 -7 7 -6*   -6*   -6*-6* 7   -7   -6*__
la  la   la    la la la la la    la  la   la

(Repeat) 

After two days in the desert sun 
My skin began to turn red 
After three days in the desert fun 
I was looking at a riverbed 
And the story it told of a river that flowed 
Made me sad to think it was dead 

(Chorus) You see 
-5 -5 -5 6    6  6  6  6  6  6 -5  -4  -4  -4 
I been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain 
-5  -5   6  6    6  6  6  -5  -4  -4  -4  
In the desert  you can remember your name 
-5  -5  6    6    6     6  6  -5  -4  -4  -4
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

(Interlude)
(Repeat 1st Verse And Repeat Last Two Lines)

After nine days I let the horse run free 
'Cause the desert had turned to sea 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
There was sand and hills and rings 
The ocean is a desert with its life underground 
And a perfect disguise above 
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love
