A HORSE WITH NO NAME – Guitar Lesson

Traces of Neil Young! Four simple but effective chords and you won't need to move your hand. But if everyone doesn't sing along, I'll be shocked . La la ….. la la la la la la ….. la la la! Proving once again that less is often more …. here's your A Horse With No Name guitar lesson!

  Em D9/6
On the  first part of the  journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

 

  Em9 Dmaj9
I've  been through the desert on a  horse with no name

La, la …

 

  Em D9/6
After t wo days in the des ert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

 

  Em9 Dmaj9
You s ee I've been through the desert on a  horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la …

 

  Em D9/6
After  nine days I let the  horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

 

  Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've  been through the desert on a  horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la …
