Kris Kristofferson - Jody and the kid

^DShe would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river Waiting patient by the chinaberry ^Emtree ^A7 With her ^Emfeet already ^A7dusty from the ^Empathway to the ^A7levee And her ^Emlittle blue jeans ^A7rolled up to her ^Dknees

An^Dd I'd pay her no a^Dmaj7ttention as she tagg^Ded along be^Dmaj7side me Trying ^Dhard to copy ^Dmaj7everything I d^Gid But I ^Emcouldn't keep from sm^A7iling when I'd h^Emear somebody sa^A7ying Looky ^Emyonder there goes ^A7Jody and the ^Dkid ^{Dmaj7 D6 D}

E^Dven after we grew older we could still be seen together As we walked along the levee holding ^Emhands ^A7 For as ^Emsurely as the ^A7seasons she was ^Emchanging to a ^A7woman And ^EmI lived enough to ^A7call myself a ^Dman

And she o^Dmaj7ften lay bes^Dide me in the co^Dmaj7olness of the eve^Dning Till the ^Dmaj7morning sun was s^Dhining on my b^Ged And at ^Emtimes when she was ^A7sleeping I would ^Emsmile when I'd ^A7remember How they ^Emused to call us ^A7Jody and the k^Did ^{Dmaj7 D6 D}

No^Dw the world's a little older and the years have changed the river Cause ^Dthere are houses where they didn't used to ^Embe ^A7 And on ^EmSundays I go ^A7walking down the ^Empathway to the ^A7levee With ^Emanother little ^A7girl who follows ^Dme

And it mak^Des the old folks ^Dmaj7smile to see her t^Dag along besid^Dmaj7e me D^Doing little things th^Dmaj7e way her mamma ^Emdid ^A7

But it ^Emgets a little ^A7lonesome when I ^Emhear somebody ^A7saying Looky ^Emyonder there goes ^A7Jody and the k^Did ^{Dmaj7 D6 D}
