A Horse With No Name chords
America 1972 (Dewey Bunnell)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Horse_with_No_Name
Em D6/9* 2x
Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey,
Em D6/9
I was looking at all the life.
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds, and rocks and things,
Em D6/9
There was sand and hills and rings.
Em D6/9
The first thing I met, was a fly with a buzz,
Em D6/9
And the sky, with no clouds.
Em D6/9
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry,
Em D6/9
But the air was full of sound.
Em D6/9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Em D6/9
It felt good to be out of the rain.
Em D6/9
In the desert you can remember your name,
Em D6/9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9
After two days, in the desert sun,
Em D6/9
My skin began to turn red.
Em D6/9
After three days, in the desert fun,
Em D6/9
I was looking at a river bed.
Em D6/9
And the story it told, of a river that flowed,
Em D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead.
Em D6/9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Em D6/9
It felt good to be out of the rain.
Em D6/9
In the desert you can remember your name,
Em D6/9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
[Instrumental]
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
Em D6/9
After nine days, I let the horse run free,
Em D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea.
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There was sand and hills and rings.
Em D6/9
The ocean is a desert, with its life underground,
Em D6/9
And a perfect disguise above.
Em D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground,
Em D6/9
But the humans will give no love.
Em D6/9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
Em D6/9
It felt good to be out of the rain.
Em D6/9
In the desert you can remember your name,
Em D6/9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
Em D6/9 Em D6/9
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la . . .
