*********** JODY AND THE KID *************
by Kris Kristofferson
G
She would meet me in the morning
G
On my way down to the river
G D
Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree
C D
With her feet already dusty
C D
From the pathway to the levy
C D G
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
G
I'd pay her no attention
G
As she tagged along beside me
C
Trying hard to copy everything I did
D
But I couldn't keep from smiling
D
When I hear somebody saying
C
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
G
Even after we grew older
G
We could still be seen together
D
As we walked along the levy holding hands
D C D C D
For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman
D C D G
And I lived enough to call myself a man
G
And she often lay beside me
G
In the coolness of the evening
G C
Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed
D
And on times when she was sleeping
D
I would smile and I'd remember
G
How they use to call us Jody and the Kid
A
Now the world's a little older
A
And the years have changed the river
A E
Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be
D E
And on Sundays I go walking
D E
Down the pathway to the levy
D E A
With another little girl who follows me
A
And it makes the ole folks smile
A
To see her tag along beside me
D
Doing little things the way her mama did
E
But it gets a little lonesome
E
When I hear somebody sayin'
A
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the Kid
