{t:Navajo Rug}
{st:Tom Russell & Ian Tyson}
Well it's [G]three eggs up on whiskey toast, and [Am]home-fries on the side
[C]You wash it down with truck-stop coffee, it [D]burns up your insides
It's just a [G]Canyon, Colorado diner, and a [Am]waitress I did love
Where we [C]sat in the back 'neath the old stuffed bear and a [D]worn out Navajo rug
Well [G]old Jack the boss he'd close at six, then it's [Am]Katie bar the door
[C]She'd pull down that Navajo rug, and [D]spread it on the floor
Hey [G]I saw lightning in the sacred mountains, saw the [Am]woven turtle doves
When [C]I was lyin' next to Katie, on that [D]old Navajo rug
{c:Refrain:}
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]whatever became of the [D]Navajo rug and [G]you?
[Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
{eoc}
Well I [G]saw old Jack about a year ago, he said the [Am]place burned to the ground
And [C]all he saved was an old bear tooth, and [D]Katie she left town
Ah, but [G]Katie she got her a souvenir too, [Am]Jack spat a tobacco plug
He said "You [C]shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke, [D]draggin' that Navajo rug."
{c:Refrain:}
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]whatever became of the [D]Navajo rug and [G]you?
[Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
{eoc}
So [G]every time I cross the sacred mountains, and [Am]lightning breaks above
It [C]always takes me back in time, to my [D]long lost Katie love
Ah but [G]everything keeps on movin', and e[Am]verybody's on the go
Well you [C]don't find things that last anymore, like a [D]double-woven Navajo
{c:Refrain:}
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]whatever became of the [D]Navajo rug and [G]you?
[Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
{eoc}
{c:Refrain (one last time):}
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
Ai-yi-[G]yi, [Em]Katie, [C]whatever became of the [D]Navajo rug and [G]you?
[Em]Katie, [C]shades of red and [D]blue
{eoc}
