*********** JODY AND THE KID *************
by Kris Kristofferson

        G                             	  	 
 	 She would meet me in the morning
 	        G                  
 	 On my way down to the river
 	  	 G                        Am  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
                                  G7      C
 	 Trying hard to copy everything I did
 	       D 	  	 
 	 But I couldn't keep from smiling
 	 D 	  	      
 	 When I hear somebody saying
 	  	  	  	           G 
 	 Looky yonder there goes Jody and the Kid

          G
 	 Even after we grew older
          G
 	 We could still be seen together
 	  	  	  	  	 Am   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'd 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 at times when she was sleeping
 	    D 	  	     
 	 I would smile and I'd remember
 	  	  	  	  	  G
 	 How they used 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
