Verse 1:
              G
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast
     Am
Home fries on the side,
         C
You wash her down with the roadhouse coffee
           D
That burns up your inside,
               G
It's just a canyon, Colorado diner,
     C
A waitress I did love,
C

We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear,
D
A worn out Navajo rug.

Chorus:
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C             D
Shades of red and blue
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C                                 G      Em D
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Verse 2:
D              G
Well, old Jack the boss, he left at six
                Am
It was, 'Katie, bar the door'.
      C
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
                   D
And we'd spread it across the floor,
           G
I saw lightning frame the sacred mountains
           C
The wooing of the turtle doves
C
Just Lying next to Katie,
   D
On that old Navajo rug.

Chorus:
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C             D
Shades of red and blue

Aye aye aye, Katie

Verse 3:
G
Well, I saw old Jack about a year ago,
Am
Said the place burned to the ground,
C
All he saved was an old bear tooth
D
And Katie she left town,
G
Well, Katie, got a souvenir too,
            Am
Jack smiled as he spit out a big old plug,
C
Well, you shoulda seen her coming through the smoke
D
She was dragging that Navajo rug.

Chorus:
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C             D
Shades of red and blue
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C                                 G      Em C D
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Verse 4:
G
So every time I cross the sacred mountains
Am
And lightning jumps above,
C
It always takes me back in time
D
To my long lost Katie love,
G
You know everything keeps on a moving
Am
Everybody's on the go,
C
Hey, you don't find things that last anymore
D
Like a hand-woven Navajo.

Chorus:
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C             D
Shades of red and blue
    G        Em
Aye aye aye, Katie
C                                 G        Em
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you..Katie

C             D
Shades of red and blue
