A HORSE WITH NO NAME - Dewey Bunnell 1971 Intro: [Dm] [A7sus4] X2 1. On the [Dm] first part of the [A7sus4] journey I was [Dm] looking at all the [A7sus4] life There were [Dm] plants and birds and [A7sus4] rocks and things There was [Dm] sand and hills and [A7sus4] rings The [Dm] first thing I met was a [A7sus4] fly with a buzz And the [Dm] sky, with no [A7sus4] clouds The [Dm] heat was hot and the [A7sus4] ground was dry But the [Dm] air was full of [A7sus4] sound

Chorus: I’ve [Dm] been through the desert on a [Em7] horse with no name It felt [Dm] good to be out of the [Em7] rain In the [Dm] desert, you can re[Em7]member your name ‘Cause there [Dm] ain’t no one for to [Em7] give you no pain [Dm] Laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa [Dm] Laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

2. After [Dm] two days in the [A7sus4] desert sun My [Dm] skin began to turn [A7sus4] red After [Dm] three days in the [A7sus4] desert fun I was [Dm] looking at a river [A7sus4] bed And the [Dm] story it told of a [A7sus4] river that flowed Made me [Dm] sad to think it was [A7sus4] dead, you see… Chorus 3. After [Dm] nine days, I let the [A7sus4] horse run free ‘Cause the [Dm] desert had turned to [A7sus4] sea There were [Dm] plants and birds and [A7sus4] rocks and things There was [Dm] sand and hills and [A7sus4] rings The [Dm] ocean is a desert with its [A7sus4] life underground And a [Dm] perfect disguise a[A7sus4]bove Under the [Dm] cities, lies a [A7sus4] heart made of ground But the [Dm] humans will give no [A7sus4] love, you see… Chorus - end on [Dm]
