Navajo Rug - Ian Tyson

Capo 2



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

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

chorus
           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.

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

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

           G   Em     C                 D
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,
           G   Em     C                                      G   Em C D - Pause
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you.

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

          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,
           G   Em     C                                     G    Em C D G
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
