Jerry Jeff Walker - Navajo Rug guitar chord

Navajo Rug

by: Jerry Jeff Walker

a e

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

d e

Wash it down with road house coffee, burns up your insides,

a e

Just a canyon Colorado diner, and a waitress I did love,

d e

I sat in the back neath an old stuffed bear, and a worn out navajo rug.

a e

Now old Jack, the boss, he left at six,and it's Katie bar the door,

d e

She'd pull down that navajo rug, and spread it across the floor,

a e

Hey I saw lightning cross, the sacred mountains, saw woven turtle doves,

d e

I was lying next to Katie, on that old Navajo rug.

chorus

a d e

Aye, aye, aye,Katie, shades of red and blue,

a d e a

Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navjo rug and you

d e

Katie, shades of red and blue.

a e

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

ground,

d e

And all I saved was this old bear tooth, and Katie, she left town,

a e

Ah, but Katie got her souvenir to; Jack spat a tobacco plug,

d

Well you should have seen her comin through the smoke,

e

Draggin that Navajo rug,

a d e

Aye, aye, aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,

a d e a

Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rugh and you.

a e

So everytime I cross the sacred mountains, and lightning breaks above,

d e

It always takes me back in time, to my long lost Katie love,

a e

But everything keeps on moving, and everybodys on the go,

d e

Hey, you don't find things that last anymore, like an old woven Navajo,

a d e

Aye, aye,aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,

a d e a

Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you,

d e

Katie, shades of red and blue,

a d e a

Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
