Horse With No Name
America

[Intro]
[Em]         [D]           x2
 
[Verse 1]
       Em                 D
On the  first part of the  journey
      Em                  D
I was  looking at all the  life
           Em                    D
There were  plants and birds and  rocks and things
           Em                  D
There were  sand and hills and  rings
    Em                       D
The  first thing I met was a  fly with a buzz
        Em           D
And the  sky with no  clouds
    Em                    D
The  heat was hot and the  ground was dry
        Em               D
But the  air was full of  sound
 
 
|[Chorus]
|     Em                            D
|I've  been through the desert on a  horse with no name
|        Em                     D
|It felt  good to be out of the  rain
|       Em              D
|In the  desert you can  remember your name
|             Em                   D
|'Cause there  ain't no one for to  give you no pain
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em               D
After  two days in the  desert sun
   Em                  D
My  skin began to turn  red
      Em                 D
After  three days in the  desert fun
      Em                  D
I was  looking at a river  bed
        Em                  D
And the  story it told of a  river that flowed
        Em                   D
Made me  sad to think it was  dead
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
      Em                   D
After  nine days I let the  horse run free
           Em                    D
'Cause the  desert had turned to  sea
           Em                    D
There were  plants and birds and  rocks and things
           Em                  D
There were  sand and hills and  rings
    Em                          D
The  ocean is a desert with its  life underground
      Em                D
And a  perfect disguise  above
          Em             D
Under the  cities lies a  heart made of ground
        Em                   D
But the  humans will give no  love
 
 
|[Chorus]
|     Em                            D
|I've  been through the desert on a  horse with no name
|        Em                     D
|It felt  good to be out of the  rain
|       Em              D
|In the  desert you can  remember your name
|             Em                   D
|'Cause there  ain't no one for to  give you no pain
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
|Em          D
| La, la, la  lala la la la, la, la
