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

Verse 2:
I'Ad pay her no attention
As she tagged along beside me
Trying hard to copy everything i did D
But i E7couldn't keep from smiling
When i hEear somebody saying
Lucky under therAe goes Jody and the kid
Verse 3:
Even aftAer we grew older
We can still be seen together
As we walked E7along the levi holding hands
For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman
And i lived Aenough to call myself a man
Verse 4:
AnAd she often lay beside me
In the coolness of the evening
TiA7l' the morning suDn was shining on my bed
And onE7 times when she was sleeping
I would Esmile and i'd remember
How they useA to call us Jody and the kid
Verse 5:(half a tone higher)
NoBbw the words are a little older
And the years have changed the river
CaBb7use now they're Ebhouses where they didn't used to be
And on F7Sundays i go walking
Down the Fpathway to the levi
With anotheBbr little girl who follows me
Verse 6:
AnBbd it makes the ole folks smile
To see her tag along beside me
Doing little thF7ings the way her mama did
F7/
But it gets a little lonesome
F7/
When i hear somebody sayin'
Lucky under Bbthere goes Jody and the kid
