[A] [F#m] [G#] [D] [E]
[A] Well, there's two eggs up on the whiskey toast, [Bm] home fries on the side.
[B] Wash it down with the roadhouse coffee, [E] and burn the pure inside.
It's [A] just a canyon Colorado diner, [Bm] and a waitress I did love.
I sat [D] in the back, neat the most up there, [E] and I worn out and have a whole rug.
Now [A] old Jack the boss, he left at six, [Bm] and it's Katie bar the door.
She pulled down that Navajo rug, [E] and she spread it across the floor.
Hey, I [A] saw that name crossed, the sacred mountain [Bm] saw them over moon turtle does.
And I was [D] lying next to Katie, [E] on that old Navajo rug.
[A] Aye, aye, aye, [F#m] Katie, [D] shades of [E] red and [A] blue.
Aye, aye, aye, [F#m] Katie, [D] whatever became of the Navajo [A] rug and hue.
[F#m]
Katie, [D] shades of [E] red and blue.
[A] Well, I saw old Jack about a year ago.
[Bm] He said the place burned to the ground.
And all I say with this old bare [E] tooth, Katie, she's left town.
[A] Papa Katie, she got her souvenir too, [Bm] Jack's fan of tobacco plug.
Well, you should [D] have seen her coming through the [E] smoke, a dragon that Navajo rug.
[A] Aye, aye, [F#m] aye, Katie, [D] shades of [E] red and blue.
[A] Aye, aye, aye, [F#m] Katie, [D] whatever became of the Navajo [A] rug and hue.
[F#m] [D] [E]
So [A] every time I cross the sacred mountains, [Bm] and lightning breaks above.
It always takes me back in [E] time to my long lost Katie love.
[A] But everything's on the move, [Bm] everybody's on the go.
[D] Hey, you don't find things that last [E] anymore like an old Navajo.
[A] Aye, aye, [F#m] aye, Katie, [D] shades of [E] red and blue.
[A] Aye, aye, aye, [F#m] Katie, [D] whatever became of the Navajo [A] rug and hue.
[F#m] Katie, [D] shades of [E] red and blue.
[A] Aye, aye, aye, [F#m] Katie, [D] whatever became of the Navajo [A] rug and [F#m] hue.
