(D) (Bm) (G) (A)
Well it´s (D)two eggs up on whiskey toast, (Em)home fries on the side,
(G) Wash it down with the roadhouse coffee, (A)burns up your insides.
Just a (D)Canyon-Colorado Diner and a (Em)waitress I did love,
I (G)sat in the back ´neath an old stuffed bear and a (A)worn out Navajo rug.
Now, old (D)Jack, the boss, he left at six, and it´s (Em) Katie, bar the door.
(G)She´d pull down that Navajo rug and she´d (A)spread it across the floor.
Hey, I saw (D)lightning ´cross the sacred mountains, saw (Em)woven turtle doves,
I was (G)lying next to Katie on (A)that old Navajo rug.
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue,
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, what(G)ever became of the Navajo rug and (D)you?
(Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue...(hold)
Well, I (D)saw old Jack about a year ago, he said, “The (Em)place burned to the ground.
And (G)all I saved was this old bear tooth, and (A)Katie, she´s left town.
Oh, but (D)Katie, she got her souvenir, too.” Jack (Em)spat a tobacco plug,
“Well, you (G)should have seen her coming through the smoke a-(A)hauling that Navajo rug.”
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue,
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, what(G)ever became of the Navajo rug and (D)you?
(Bm) (G) (A)...(hold)
- Instrumental verse -
So (D)every time I cross the sacred mountains and (Em)lightning breaks above,
It (G)always takes me back in time to my (A)long lost Katie love.
But (D)everything keeps on a-moving, (Em)everybody´s on the go,
Hey, you (G)don´t find things that last anymore like an (A)double woven Navajo.
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue,
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, what(G)ever became of the Navajo rug and (D)you?
(Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue,
Aye, Aye, (D)Aye, (Bm)Katie, what(G)ever became of the Navajo rug and (D)you?
(Bm)Katie, (G)shades of red and (A)blue... (D)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
