[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D6 D
[Verse 1]
D She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river Em A7 Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree Em A7 Em A7 With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee Em A7 D And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 And I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me D Dmaj7 G Trying hard to copy everything I did Em A7 Em A7 But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying Em A7 D Dmaj7 D6 D Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
[Verse 2]
D Even after we grew older we could still be seen together Em A7 As we walked along the levee holding hands Em A7 Em A7 For as surely as the seasons she was changing to a woman Em A7 D And I lived enough to call myself a man
[Chorus 2]
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D And she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening Dmaj7 D G Till the morning sun was shining on my bed Em A7 Em A7 And at times when she was sleeping I would smile when I'd remember Em A7 D Dmaj7 D6 D How they used to call us Jody and the kid
[Verse 3]
D Now the world's a little older and the years have changed the river D Em A7 Cause there are houses where they didn't used to be Em A7 Em A7 And on Sundays I go walking down the pathway to the levee Em A7 D With another little girl who follows me
[Chorus 3]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 And it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me D Dmaj7 Em A7 Doing little things the way her mamma did
[Outro Slowly]
Em A7 Em A7 But it gets a little lonesome when I hear somebody saying Em A7 D Dmaj7 D6 D Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
