Navajo Rug - Ian Tyson

Capo 2


G+G                    A minorAm
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast, home fries on the side,
C majorC                    D MajorD
Wash it down with the road house coffee, burns up your insides,
    G+G              A minorAm
Just a canyon Colorado diner, and a waitress I did love,
  C majorC                        D MajorD
I sat in the back neath an old stuffed bear, and a worn out navajo rug.

G+G                         A minorAm
Now old Jack, the boss, he left at six,and it's Katie bar the door,
C majorC                   D MajorD
She'd pull down that navajo rug, and she spread it across the floor,
     G+G                       A minorAm
Hey I saw lightning cross, the sacred mountains, saw the woven turtle doves,
    C majorC           D MajorD
I was lying next to Katie, on that old Navajo rug.

chorus
      G+G E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD
Aye, aye, aye,Katie, shades of red and blue,
      G+G  E minorEm   C majorC                  G+G
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD
Katie, shades of red and blue.

G+G                         A minorAm
Well I saw old Jack, about a year ago, He said the place burned to the

ground,
   C majorC                    D MajorD
And all I saved was this old bear tooth, and Katie, she left town,
    G+G                A minorAm
Ah, but Katie got her souvenir to; Jack spat a tobacco plug,
     C majorC
Well you should have seen her comin through the smoke,
D MajorD
Draggin that Navajo rug,

      G+G  E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,
      G+G  E minorEm   C majorC                   G+G  E minorEm C majorC D MajorD - Pause
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you.

  G+G                     A minorAm
So everytime I cross the sacred mountains, and lightning breaks above,
  C majorC                D MajorD
It always takes me back in time, to my long lost Katie love,
  G+G                A minorAm
But everything keeps on moving, and everybodys on the go,
     C majorC                      D MajorD
Hey, you don't find things that last anymore, like an old woven Navajo,

     G+G  E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD
Aye, aye,aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,
      G+G  E minorEm   C majorC                   G+G
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you,
E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD
Katie, shades of red and blue,
      G+G  E minorEm   C majorC                   G+G  E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
