G Well I saw old Jack about a year ago Am He said the place burned to the ground C And all he saved was an old bear tooth D And Katie she left town G But Katie she got her a souvenir too Am Jack spat out a tabacco plug C He said "You shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke D Draggin' that Navajo rug." Repeat Chorus G Now everytime I cross the sacred mountains Am And lightning breaks above C It always takes me back in time D To my long lost Katie love G Ah but everything keeps on movin' Am And everyone's on the go C They don't make things that last anymore D Like a double-woven Navajo Repeat Chorus Em C D Katie, shades of red and blue G Em Ay-yi-yi, Katie C G Em C D G Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? >From the album Song Of The West - The Cowboy Collection 1997 HMG/Hightone Records.
