[Em] [D] x2
[Verse 1]
Em D
On the first part of the journey
Em D
I was looking at all the life
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D
And the sky with no clouds
Em D
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D
But the air was full of sound
|[Chorus]
| Em D
|I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
| Em D
|It felt good to be out of the rain
| Em D
|In the desert you can remember your name
| Em D
|'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
|Em D
| La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
|Em D
| La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Em D
After two days in the desert sun
Em D
My skin began to turn red
Em D
After three days in the desert fun
Em D
I was looking at a river bed
Em D
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Em D
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D
And a perfect disguise above
Em D
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D
But the humans will give no love
|[Chorus]

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

[D]Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
[G]Pour myself a cup of ambition
And [D]yawn and stretch and try to come to [A]life
[D]Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
[G]Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [D]folks like me on the [A]job from nine to [D]five
[Stop]
Working [G]nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
They just [G] use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s e[E]nough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would [D] think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to [G] move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I [E]swear sometimes, that man is [A] out to get me
They [D]let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter,
You’re [G]just a step on the boss man’s ladder,
But [D]you’ve got dreams he’ll never take a[A]way
You’re [D]in the same boat with a lot of your friends
[G]Waiting for the day your ship’ll come in
The [D]tides gonna turn and it’s [A]all gonna roll your [D]way
[Stop]
Working [G]nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
They just [G] use your mind and you never get the credit
It’s [E]enough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it

[Verse 3]
[D] Now Lefty he can't sing the blues, [A] all night long, like he used to
[G] The dust that Pancho bit down south, [D] ended up in [A] Lefty's mouth
[G] The day they laid poor Pancho low, [D] Lefty split for [G] Ohio
[Bm] Where he got the [G] bread [D] to [A] go [G] There ain't nobody [Bm] knows [A]

Woody Guthrie
[D] This land is [G] your land, this land is [D] my land,
From Calif[A7]ornia to the New York [D] Island,
From the Redwood [G] Forests to the Gulf Stream wa[D]ters
[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
As I was [G] walking that ribbon of [D] highway
I saw ab[A7]ove me that endless [D] skyway
I saw be[G]low me that golden [D] valley
[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
I roamed and I [G] rambled and I followed my [D] footsteps
To the sparkling [A7] sands of her diamond [D] deserts
While all ar[G]ound me a voice was [D] sounding
[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
When the sun came [G] shining, and I was [D] strolling
And the wheat fields [A7] waving and the dust clouds [D] rolling
A voice was [G] chanting and the fog was [D] lifting,
[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
[D] This land is [G] your land, this land is [D] my land,
From Calif[A7]ornia to the New York [D] Island,
From the Redwood [G] Forests to the Gulf Stream wa[D]ters
[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
This is the ‘middle of the road’ sanitised version - here are a couple of Woody’s more radical verses which give it more ‘edge’ :
One bright sunny morning, in the shadow of the steeple
At the Relief Office I saw my people
As they stood hungry and I stood asking
Is this land made for you and me ?
Well I roamed and rambled and saw a sign there.
And on the sign it said ‘No Trespassing’
But on the backside it didn’t say nothin.
That side was made for you and me !

Travellin' Soldier - The Dixie Chicks
[C] Two days past 18
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [F]down at a booth in a cafe there,
Gave his [C]order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
[C]He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And [F]talking to me ... I'm feeling a little [C]low
She said I'm [Bb]off in an hour and [F]I know where we can [C]go.
[C]So they went down and they sat on the pier,
he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
I [F] got no one... to send a letter [C]to.
Would you [Bb]mind if I sent [F]one back here to [C]you?"
|Chorus:
|[Am]I cried
|[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy
|Too young, for him they told her
|[G]Waitin' for the love of a travellin' soldier
|[Am]Our love will never end
|[F]Waitin' for the soldier to come back [C]again
|Never more to be alone
|When the [G]letter says, a soldier's coming [C]home
[C]So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he [F] told her of his heart
It might be love and [C] all of things he was so scared of.
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And [F] I close my eyes and see your pretty [C]smile
Don't [Bb]worry but I won't be [F]able to write for a [C]while
Chorus:
[C]One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [F]man said Folks .. would you bow your heads
For a [C]list of local Vietnam dead.
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [F]one name read and nobody really [C] cared
But a [Bb]pretty little girl .. [F]with a bow in her [C]hair.
|[Am]I cried……..[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy

|so you dwell in the darkness of your soul like Jonah in the belly of the whale
| F Am E7 Am
|and all you got is a hammer and everything looks like a nail.
(Verse 3)
Am
when a good man in a bad dream
C
can't make it on his own
F Am
when he can't feed his own damn children
E7
on the money that he brings home
Am
and the deck is stacked against him
C
and he knows he's bound to fail
F Am
and all he's got is a hammer
E7 Am
everything looks like a nail.
