Horse With No Name
America
[Em] [D6] [Em] [D6]
On the first part [Em] of the journey, [D6] I was [Em] looking at all the [D6] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and rocks [D6] and things,
There [Em] was sand and hills [D6] and rings.
The first [Em] thing I met, was a fly with [D6] a buzz, And [Em] the sky, with no [D6] clouds The heat [Em] was hot, and the ground [D6] was dry, But the [Em] air was full of [D6] 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 remember [D6add9] your name,
'Cause there [Em] ain't no one for to [D6add9] give you no pain.
[Em] La, la, la la la la, la la [D6add9] la, la, la [Em] La, la, la la la la, la la [D6add9] la, la, la [Em] La, la, la la la la, la la [D6add9] la, la, la [Em] La, la, la la la la, la la [D6add9] la, la, la
After [Em] two days, in the [D6] desert sun, My [Em] skin began to turn [D6] red.
After [Em] three days, in the [D6] desert fun, I was [Em] looking at a river [D6] bed.
And the [Em] story it told, of a [D6] river that flowed, Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6] dead. You see ..
Chorus
After [Em] nine days, I let the [D6] horse run free, 'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6] sea There were [Em] plants and birds, and [D6] rocks and things, There was [Em] sand and hills and [D6] rings.
The [Em] ocean is a desert, with it's [D6] life underground, And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6] above
[Em] Under the cities lies a [D6] heart made of ground But the [Em] humans will give no [D6] love. You see ...
Chorus
[Em]La la, la, la la la la, la la [D6add9] la, la, la x 4
