The boot heels of the dancers have worn grooves upon the floor

There’s a hitchin’ rail out in front and another on the side

A long bar with a brass rail and bottles of rye

The barmaids’ name is Katie and they say she’s eighty proof

With a Chinook arch in the West and water pouring off the roof

Just past the grain elevator across the railroad tracks
F                                     G
Right next door to the Western Store, saddle and tack
    C                                       D
The sign out front says “Home Cooked Meals”, “Rooms Upstairs”

And something else no one can read but nobody seems to care

The Rig crew stop from time to time, everybody’s welcome here

There’s hot coffee and buffalo steaks and bottles of beer

There’s a cowboy band on the weekend and all of the hockey games

You could spend a night or spend your life and feel it just the same

Verse 3:
C                                       D
They still play Wilf Carter here on the worn out jukebox
  F                          G
A two-step or a shuffle or a Rocky Mountain waltz
C                                          D
There’s horseshoes by the fireplace on the wall by the wagon wheel
         F                         G
When the mercury starts falling it warms against the chill
          C                     D
There’s a cowhorse at the rail, hitched up side by side
       F                                     G
With a panel track, a horse trailer, and the snowmobiles in line
C                                D
And it really does get busy here once the sun goes down
        F                                            G
And you ought to see it on the long weekend when the rodeo’s in town

Chorus:
C   G        C      Cmaj9  Am
Ian Tyson is singin’ “Navajo Rug”
C           G              C      Cmaj9      Am

Coyote is a-howlin’ underneath the moon
C           G     C
Here at the Hotel Saloon
