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
