Thanks Mike, America were some of the first albums I ever bought ,I'm a bit older than you 67 years young.🎼🎸..p.s."horse with no name" is easier its only a couple of chords...
Mike, I am 74 yrs old. Retired drummer ('64-'99) Been teaching myself guitar through YT now for a few years. Gotta tell ya- your Voice Over, singing, & professionalism on the guitar plus your smooth style of teaching is pretty much perfect. God bless you, Brother, and keep up the great work and keep using the Gift you've got. Stay well. Till the next Lesson.
America was the first band that I got to see when I was stationed in Japan in 1988...I believe, but the band DeBarge was actually on the C-141 I arrived in, seated in jump seats from Yokota to Misawa when I first flew to Misawa. I didn't get to see them on my first weekend....in processing and finding my way...
Thankyou for this video love this song! Heck I like all the America songs. I'm going to chord chart it now that you showed me the chords and sang wonderfully.
Thanks Douglas. I have pinned a comment with the lyrics and chords. I have a pdf with the charts, but have no way of posting it here. If you are on Facebook, you can join our “G4V Guitar Lessons” group and receive the song sheet with lyrics and chord charts.

[A] We used to laugh, we [Amaj7] used to cry
[Em] We used to [G] bow our heads then, [C] wonder why
And [A] now you're gone, I guess I'll [Amaj7] carry on
[Em] And make the [G] best of what you've [C] left to me
[Fmaj7] Left to me, [D7] left to me
I [G] need you like the [Em] flower needs the rain
You know I [Bm] need you, guess I'll [Am7] start it all a- [D7] gain
You know I [G] need you like the [Em] winter needs the spring
You know I [Bm] need you, I need you [D] [E]
And [A] every day, I'd laugh the [Amaj7] hours away
[Em] Just knowing [G] you were thinking [C] of me
And [A] then it came that I was [Amaj7] put to blame
[Em] For every [G] story told a- [C] bout me
A- [Fmaj7] bout me, a- [D7] bout me
I [G] need you like the [Em] flower needs the rain
You know I [Bm] need you, guess I'll [G] start it all a- [G] gain
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am7] need you
I [G] need you like the [Em] winter needs the spring
You know I [Bm] need you, guess I'll [G] start it all a- [G] gain
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am7] need you
I [G] need you like the [Em] flower needs the rain
You know I [Bm] need you, guess I'll [G] start it all a- [G] gain
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am7] need you
I [G] need you like the [Em] winter needs the spring
You know I [Bm] need you, guess I'll [G] start it all a- [G] gain
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am7] need you [G]
Dang Mike ! Your the best!

Thanks John! Yes, A Horse with No Name is the first song I teach most beginning students due to its easy chords. Cheers!

Wow! Thanks, Dennis, for your kind words and God bless you in your guitar journey. I’m so happy you are watching my lessons!
