America - A Horse With No Name
(Em) (D6(9)/F#) 2x
1st Verse
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
On the first part of the journey
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
I was looking at all the life
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
There was sand and hills and rings
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
And the sky with no clouds
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
But the air was full of sound
Pre-Chorus
(Em) (D9/F#)
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
(Em) (D9/F#)
It felt good to be out of the rain
(Em) (D9/F#)
In the desert you can remember your name
(Em) (D9/F#)
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Chorus (2x)
(Em)
La la la
(D9/F#)
La la la la la la
(Em) (D9/F#)
La la la
2nd Verse
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
After two days in the desert sun
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
My skin began to turn red
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
After three days in the desert fun
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
I was looking at a river bed
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
And the story it told of a river that flowed
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
Made me sad to think it was dead
Pre-Chorus
(Em) (D9/F#)
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
(Em) (D9/F#)
It felt good to be out of the rain
(Em) (D9/F#)
In the desert you can remember your name
(Em) (D9/F#)
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Chorus
(Em)
La la la
(D9/F#)
La la la la la la
(Em) (D9/F#)
La la la
Solo
(Em) (D6(9)/F#) (Em) (D6(9)/F#) 2x
3rd Verse
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
After nine days I let the horse run free
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
There was sand and hills and rings
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
And a perfect disguise above
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
(Em) (D6(9)/F#)
But the humans will give no love
Pre-Chorus
(Em) (D9/F#)
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
(Em) (D9/F#)
It felt good to be out of the rain
(Em) (D9/F#)
In the desert you can remember your name
(Em) (D9/F#)
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Last Chorus (8x)
(Em)
La la la
(D9/F#)
La la la la la la
(Em) (D9/F#)
La la la
