Navajo Rug - Ian Tyson
Capo 2
G Am
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast, home fries on the side,
C D
Wash it down with the road house coffee, burns up your insides,
G Am
Just a canyon Colorado diner, and a waitress I did love,
C D
I sat in the back neath an old stuffed bear, and a worn out navajo rug.
G Am
Now old Jack, the boss, he left at six,and it's Katie bar the door,
C D
She'd pull down that navajo rug, and she spread it across the floor,
G Am
Hey I saw lightning cross, the sacred mountains, saw the woven turtle doves,
C D
I was lying next to Katie, on that old Navajo rug.

G Am
Well I saw old Jack, about a year ago, He said the place burned to the
ground,
C D
And all I saved was this old bear tooth, and Katie, she left town,
G Am
Ah, but Katie got her souvenir to; Jack spat a tobacco plug,

Well you should have seen her comin through the smoke,

So everytime I cross the sacred mountains, and lightning breaks above,

It always takes me back in time, to my long lost Katie love,
G Am
But everything keeps on moving, and everybodys on the go,
