JODY AND THE KID

written and performed by Kris Kristofferson

Verse 1:

      A/           A/                E/

She would meet me in the morning

       A/               E7/

On my way down to the river

  A7/      A7/                 E7/ E/

Waiting patient by the chant of every tree

                  A7/          E7/

With her feet already dusty

  A7/           E7/

From the pathway to the levi

  A7/              E7/              A/

And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees

Bridge:  e  ----------------

A  -----------0----

E  --0--2--4-------

Verse 2:

  A            

I'd pay her no attention

As she tagged along beside me

                                         D

Trying hard to copy everything i did

      E7

But i couldn't keep from smiling

    E

When i hear somebody saying

          A

Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid

Verse 3:

          A

Even after we grew older

We can still be seen together

     E7

As we walked along the levi holding hands

For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman

    A

And i lived enough to call myself a man

Verse 4:

  A

And she often lay beside me

In the coolness of the evening

  A7        D

Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed

      E7

And on times when she was sleeping

    E

I would smile and i'd remember

    A

How they use to call us Jody and the kid

Verse 5:(half a tone higher)

  Bb          

Now the words are a little older

And the years have changed the river

  Bb7      Eb

Cause now they're houses where they didn't used to be

       F7

And on Sundays i go walking

     F

Down the pathway to the levi

   Bb

With another little girl who follows me

Verse 6:

  Bb

And it makes the ole folks smile

To see her tag along beside me

       F7

Doing little things the way her mama did

              F7/

But it gets a little lonesome

      F7/

When i hear somebody sayin'

    Bb

Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
