(capo 2nd fret)
SOL
Well it's three eggs up on whiskey toast
LAm
Homefries on the side
DO
Wash it down with truckstop coffee
RE
Burns up your inside
SOL
Just a Canyon, Colorado diner
LAm
And a waitress I did love
DO
We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear
RE
And a worn out Navajo rug
SOL
Well old Jack the boss he'd close at six
LAm
Then it's Katie bar the door
DO
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
RE
And she'd spread it 'cross the floor
SOL
Hey I saw lightning in the sacred mountains
LAm
Saw the dance of the turtle doves
DO
Lyin' next to Katie
RE
On that old Navajo rug
Chorus
SOL MIm DO RE
Ai-yi-yi, Katie, shades of red and blue
SOL MIm
Ai-yi-yi, Katie
DO SOL MIm DO RE
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
SOL
Well I saw old Jack about a year ago
LAm
He said the place burned to the ground
DO
And all he saved was an old bear tooth
RE
And Katie she left town
SOL
But Katie she got her a souvenir too
LAm
Jack spat out a tabacco plug
DO
He said "You shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke
RE
Draggin' that Navajo rug."
Repeat Chorus
SOL
Now everytime I cross the sacred mountains
LAm
And lightning breaks above
DO
It always takes me back in time
RE
To my long lost Katie love
SOL
Ah but everything keeps on movin'
LAm
And everyone's on the go
DO
They don't make things that last anymore
RE
Like a double-woven Navajo
Repeat Chorus
MIm DO RE
Katie, shades of red and blue
SOL MIm
Ay-yi-yi, Katie
DO SOL MIm DO RE SOL
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
