      [INTRO]  
G  C  D  (x2)

G     
I remember one summer me and Daniel Ray, 
     C
were cruisin through New Mexico around Santa Fe,
         D                                            G
When we came across a stand sellin' gallons of Navaho Beer,
G
We was both pretty thirsty so we stopped in,
          C      
bought a gallon a piece and threw caution to the wind
    D                                                 G          
and commenced to drinkin' with a couple of breaks of bread.

G
I noticed Daniel's face start turnin' red,
    C
and two big horns sprouted outta his head,
        D                                    G
and his eyes that was blue faded away to solid black,
G
I looked at the beer and it was all gone, 
    C
and six rattlesnakes was begin'n to spawn,
         D                                                  G
from the crustaceous masses in the bottom of the glasses of beer.

[CHORUS]
G
Well, I've been around and I've seen alot,
        C
but the craziest thing, I've ever got,
   D                              G
my hands on is a bottle of Navaho beer,
G
you can listen to me, or try it for yourself,
     C 
but I'll leave'r sittin', there on the shelf,
     D                                   G
stay clear of that s**t they call Navaho beer.

G
Had Sammy Davis,Jr. ridin' shotgun,
    C 
now ordinarily that would've been fun,
       D                                               G
but he pulled out his eye and he was jammin' it in my ear,
G
I said "look now Sammy I'ma tryin' to drive, 
    C
and anyhow, you ain't supposed to be alive,
    D                                                  G
now where the hell is Daniel and whats in that Navaho beer?"

G
Well a cop pulled us over, i was scared as hell,
        C
I said "Dammit Sammy, we's a goin' to jail"
      D                                       G
and I slowly began to roll my winder down,
G
I said "howdy officer can we just talk?"
         C
he said "hell no son, you're on the sidewalk,
     D  
and, we don't drive like that in my town"

G
Well I stepped out the car, didn't put up a fight,
    C
now Mr. Bojangles he wasn't so polite,
      D                                          G
and I think he was makin' a move for one of his guns,
G
I said "Oh my God!" and I grabbed his hand,
        C
but you know them cops never understand,
         D                                    G
and they fired five rounds for the thing was done.

G
Well the shots they shot, they didn't hit me,
       C
Didn't hit Sammy Davis or my pickup seat 
    D                                       G
but one of them boys was screamin' "Officer Down!"
G
Well, one of them shots had hit him in the leg,
           C
and it was all his fault is what Sammy said,
 D                                      G
Next thing I know we was speedin' outta town.

[CHORUS]
G
Woke up the next day in South Padre,
    C
and right there next to me was Daniel Ray,
    D                           G
and we was both sleepin' on the beach,
G
We drove that truck off in the ocean,
    C    
and hitchiked back to Oklahoma,
    D                                           G
and swore off drinkin' for seven days shy of a week.

[CHORUS]
G
Yodalady, yodalady, yodalady who,
    C
yodalady, yodalady, yodalay
    D                      G
yodalady, yodalady, Navaho Beer.
