(Capo 2nd Fret)
Intro: G Em C Due
Verse 1.sa
D G Amoi
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast * And home fries on the side
C Am7 D
Wash it down with the truck coffee * Burns up your insides
G Am
Just a Canyon-Colorado Diner * And a waitress I did love
C
We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear
D (stop)
On a worn out Navajo rug
Verse 2.
G Am
Well Old Jack, the boss, he closed at six * And it was Katie bar the door
Am7 D
She'd pull down that Navajo rug * And she'd spread it 'cross the floor
G
Hey, I saw lightning in the sacred mountains
Am C
Saw the dance of turtle doves * sittin' next to Katie
D
On that old Navajo rug
(Chorus)
D G Em C D
Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie * Shades of red and blue
G Em C G
Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie * Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
Em C D
Katie, shades of red and blue
Verse 3.
Well I saw old Jack about a year ago
He said the place burned to the ground
And all I saved was an old bear tooth
And Katie, she'd left town
Ah, but Katie, she got her souvenir too
Jack spat a tobacco plug
Well you should have seen her a-coming through the smoke
Draggin' that Navajo rug
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4.
Now every time I cross those sacred mountains
And lightning breaks from above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katie love
But everything keeps on a-movin'
Yeah, an' everybody's on the go
You don't find things that last anymore
Like an old woven Navajo
(Repeat Chorus twice and fade)
