On the Dmfirst part of the C6journey
I was Dmlooking at all the C6life
There were Dmplants and birds and C6rocks and things
There was Dmsand and hills and C6rings
The first Dmthing I met was a C6fly with a buzz
And the Dmsky with no C6clouds
The heat Dmwas hot, and the C6ground was dry
But the Dmair was full of C6sound
I've Dmbeen through the desert on a Em7horse with no name
It felt Dmgood to be out of the Em7rain
In the Dmdesert, you can re-Em7member your name
'Cause there Dmain't no one for to Em7give you no pain
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Em7la
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Em7la
After Dmtwo days in the C6desert sun
My skin Dmbegan to turn C6red
After Dmthree days in the C6desert fun
I was Dmlooking at a river C6bed
And the Dmstory it told of a C6river that flowed
Made me Dmsad to think it was C6dead
You see I've Dmbeen through the desert on a Em7horse with no name
It felt Dmgood to be out of the Em7rain
In the Dmdesert, you can re-Em7member your name
'Cause there Dmain't no one for to Em7give you no pain
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Em7la
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Em7la
After Dmnine days, I let the C6horse run free
'Cause the Dmdesert had turned to C6sea
There were Dmplants and birds and C6rocks and things
There was Dmsand and hills and C6rings
The Dmocean is a desert with it's C6life underground
And a Dmperfect disguise a-C6bove
Under Dmthe cities lies a C6heart made of ground
But the Dmhumans will give no C6love
You see I've Dmbeen through the desert on a Em7horse with no name
It felt Dmgood to be out of the Em7rain
In the Dmdesert, you can re-Em7member your name
'Cause there Dmain't no one for to Em7give you no pain
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Em7la
DmLa la, la, Em7lalalala, lala Dmla la Emla
