Wake Up Navajo

G Am
Honey dew dawn came tiptoein' 'round
D C G
Glowin' and glitterin' wakin' our eyes
G Am
Navajo child sweet night is gone
D C G | G |
But the nectar of love is still lingerin' on
G > Am (Am - B - C)
. Did you sleep alright last night?
C G
Do your dreams like a river flow?
G > Am G F Am C D
. Did you hear the hooting owl call, . "Wake up Navajo"?
G C D G G/F#
Nah na-na-na nah, wake up Navajo
Em C
Light me a bright new horizon
C D
Shining out as we roll along
G C D G G/F#
Nah na-na-na nah, wake up Navajo
Em C
Roll me an Indian morning
D C | C |
Sing me an Indian song
| G | G |
G Am
Pintos and paint up prairie land bound
D C G
Shinin' and shimmerin' getaway eyes
G Am
Follow the clouds that cover the plains
D C G
Won't you ride us away to a happier day
G > Am (Am - B - C)

Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too
high.
I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973.
To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.)
By lowering the pitch about 1/2 semi-tone (aka -50 "cents") I was
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
