And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies

    D     Am7   D9       Cdim  D   Am7   D7
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes

       C     C/B Cdim  D7   G
On the peo - ple pas - sin' by.

Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion,

Em6    C    C/B  Am7   Am7/G   G    Am7   G
Their shoes were pol - ished bright;

G/F#      Em     B+       Em7      Em6
