A                                             Bm  
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                            Bm      
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                                                 Bm   
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                                         Bm  
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  F#m          D               E   
Aye, aye, aye,Katie, shades of red and blue,  
           A   F#m         D                     E             A    
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navjo rug and you  
F#m         D                 E  
Katie, shades of red and blue.  
  
A                                                 Bm  
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                               Bm  
Ah, but Katie got her souvenir too; Jack spat a tobacco plug,  
           D  
Well you should have seen her comin through the smoke,  
	E  
Draggin that Navajo rug,  
  
           A    F#m         D                E 
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,  
           A    F#m        D                     E               A  
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you.  
  
    A                                            Bm   
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                                Bm  
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   F#m          D                E  
Aye, aye,aye, Katie, shades of red and blue,  
           A    F#m        D                      E             A  
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you,  
F#m          D               E  
Katie, shades of red and blue,   
           A   F#m         D                      E             A  
Aye, aye, aye, Katie, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
