Jody And The Kid Chords by Kris Kristofferson

[A] _ _ She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
waiting patient by the
Chino [Bm] Berry tree
_ [E] With [B] her feet [E] already dusty
from [B] the pathway to [E] the living and
Her [Bm] little blue [E] jeans rolled up [A] to her [E] knees
[F#] [A] I'd pay her no attention
[F#m] As she tagged [A] along beside me
[Em] Trying hard to [A] copy
everything [D] I did
But [B] I couldn't keep from [E] [D] smiling
[B] When I hear [G#] somebody saying
[A] [Bm] Look yonder
[E] There goes [A] Jodi and the kid
_ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _
[A] Even after we grew older
We'd still be seen together
As we walked along the levee [Bm] holding hands
_ [E] _ [Bm] For as surely [E] as the seasons she [Bm] was changing [E] to a woman
[Bm] And I lived enough [E] to call myself [A] a man
And _ she'd often lay [C#m] beside me [F#m] in the coolness [A] of the evening
[Em] Till the morning [A] sun was shining [D] on my bed
And [Bm] at times [E] when she was sleeping I [Bm] would smile and [E] I'd remember
[Bm] How they used to call [E] us Jodi [A] and the kid
[C#m] Now _ [F#m] _ _ [F] _
[A#] the world's a little older and the years have changed the river
Cause there's houses where they didn't used [Cm] to be
[F] _ [Cm] And on Sundays I [F] go walking [Cm] down the pathway [F] to the levee with [Cm] another
[F] little girl who [A#] follows me _ and
It makes the old [Dm] folks smile to [Gm] see her tag [A#] along beside me
Doing [Fm] little [A#] things the way her [D#] mama did
_ But [Cm] it gets a [F] little lonesome
When [Cm] I hear [F] somebody saying
[Cm] Look yonder
There [F] goes Jodi and [A#] the kid
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
