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/
A7/              E7/              A/
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees

Verse 2:
AA Piano Chord 

I'd pay her no attention

As she tagged along beside me
DD Piano Chord 

Trying hard to copy everything i did
E7E7 Piano Chord 

But i couldn't keep from smiling
EE Piano Chord 

When i hear somebody saying
AA Piano Chord 

Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid

Verse 3:
AA Piano Chord 

Even after we grew older

We can still be seen together
E7E7 Piano Chord 

As we walked along the levi holding hands

For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman
AA Piano Chord 

And i lived enough to call myself a man

Verse 4:
AA Piano Chord 

And she often lay beside me

In the coolness of the evening
A7A7 Piano Chord 
				       DD Piano Chord 

Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed
E7E7 Piano Chord 

And on times when she was sleeping
EE Piano Chord 

I would smile and i'd remember
AA Piano Chord 

How they use to call us Jody and the kid

Verse 5:(half a tone higher)
BbBb Piano Chord 

Now the words are a little older

And the years have changed the river
Bb7Bb7 Piano Chord 
				     EbEb Piano Chord 

Cause now they're houses where they didn't used to be
F7F7 Piano Chord 

And on Sundays i go walking
FF Piano Chord 

Down the pathway to the levi
BbBb Piano Chord 

With another little girl who follows me

Verse 6:
BbBb Piano Chord 

And it makes the ole folks smile

To see her tag along beside me
F7F7 Piano Chord 

Doing little things the way her mama did
F7/
But it gets a little lonesome
F7/
When i hear somebody sayin'
BbBb Piano Chord 

Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
