Jody And The Kid

Kris Kristofferson - Jody and the Kid (capo 2nd fret) (verse 1) G She would meet me in the mornin' on my way down to the river, Am - D Waiting patient by the China Berry tree; Am D Am D With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee, Am D D And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees. G Em7 G Em7 I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me, G G7 C Trying hard to copy ev'rything I did; Am D Am D But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying: Am D G "Look a-yonder; there goes Jody and the kid." (verse 2) After we grew older, we could still be seen together, As we walked along the levee holding hands; For as surely as the seasons, she was changin' to a woman, And I'd lived enough to call myself a man. And she often lay beside me, in the coolness of the evening, 'Til the morning sun was shining on my bed; And at times, when she was sleeping, I would smile when I'd remember, How they used to call us "Jody and the kid." (verse 3) G Em7 G Em7 Now, the world's a little older, and the years have changed the river, G Em7 Am - D 'Cos there's houses where they didn't used to be; Am D Am D And on Sundays I go walking down the pathway to the levee, Am D G With another little girl who follows me. G Em7 G Em7 And it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me, G G7 C Doing little things the way her Mamma did. Am D Am D But it gets a little lonesome, when I hear somebody saying: Am D G "Look yonder; there goes Jody and the kid." chords by: palamin0@countrytabs.com
