| G | G | 

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                    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) 
    . Did you sleep alright last night? 
              C             G

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.
