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 -----------------| B ---------------------| G ---------------------| D ---------------------| 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 A7D 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 Bb7Eb 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
