Navajo Rug ========== by: Tom Russell written by: Tom Russell and Ian Tyson - End Of The Trail Music/Slick Fork (capo 2nd fret) G5 Well it's three eggs up on whiskey toast A5 Homefries on the side C5 Wash it down with truckstop coffee D5 Burns up your inside G5 Just a Canyon, Colorado diner A5 And a waitress I did love C5 We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear D5 And a worn out Navajo rug G5 Well old Jack the boss he'd close at six A5 Then it's Katie bar the door C5 She'd pull down that Navajo rug D5 And she'd spread it 'cross the floor G5 Hey I saw lightning in the sacred mountains A5 Saw the dance of the turtle doves C5 Lyin' next to Katie D5 On that old Navajo rug Chorus: G5 E5 C5 D5 Ai-yi-yi, Katie, shades of red and blue G5 E5 Ai-yi-yi, Katie C5 G5 E5 C5 D5 Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? G5 Well I saw old Jack about a year ago A5 He said the place burned to the ground C5 And all he saved was an old bear tooth D5 And Katie she left town G5 But Katie she got her a souvenir too A5 Jack spat out a tabacco plug C5 He said "You shoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke D5 Draggin' that Navajo rug." Repeat Chorus G5 Now everytime I cross the sacred mountains A5 And lightning breaks above C5 It always takes me back in time D5 To my long lost Katie love G5 Ah but everything keeps on movin' A5 And everyone's on the go C5 They don't make things that last anymore D5 Like a double-woven Navajo Repeat Chorus E5 C5 D5 Katie, shades of red and blue G5 E5 Ay-yi-yi, Katie C5 G5 E5 C5 D5 G5 Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
