[Em] [Bm] [Em]
On the first part [F#m] of the journey, [Em]
I was looking at all the life.
There were plants and birds [D] and rocks and [G] things, there was sand and hills and rains.
The first thing I met was [D] a flower, a buzz, [Em] and the sky with no [F#m]
clouds.
[G] The heat was hot and [F#m] the ground was [Em] dry, but the air was full of [D]
sound.
[Em] I've been through the desert [Bm] on a horse with no name, [G] felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert, you [D] can remember your [G] name, cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
