Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Due

Verse 1.sa

Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast * And home fries on the side

Wash it down with the truck coffee * Burns up your insides

 Just a Canyon-Colorado Diner * And a waitress I did love

 We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear

 On a worn out Navajo rug

Verse 2.

 Well Old Jack, the boss, he closed at six * And it was Katie bar the door

 She'd pull down that Navajo rug * And she'd spread it 'cross the floor

 Hey, I saw lightning in the sacred mountains

 Saw the dance of turtle doves * sittin' next to Katie

 On that old Navajo rug

(Chorus)

Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie * Shades of red and blue

 Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie * Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Katie, shades of red and blue

Verse 3.

Well I saw old Jack about a year ago

He said the place burned to the ground

And all I saved was an old bear tooth

And Katie, she'd left town

Ah, but Katie, she got her souvenir too

Jack spat a tobacco plug

Well you should have seen her a-coming through the smoke

Draggin' that Navajo rug

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 4.

Now every time I cross those sacred mountains

And lightning breaks from above

It always takes me back in time

To my long lost Katie love

But everything keeps on a-movin'

Yeah, an' everybody's on the go

You don't find things that last anymore

Like an old woven Navajo

(Repeat Chorus twice and fade)
