	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/

				          A (x02220@1)Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid

          A (x02220@1)Even after we grew older

	We can still be seen together
					     E7 (020130@1)As we walked along the levi holding hands

	For as surely as the season she was changin' to awoman (x02210@1)					    A (x02220@1)And i lived enough to call myself aman (x02210@1)

Verse 4:
	  A (x02220@1)And she often lay beside me

	In the coolness of the evening
	  A7 (x02020@1)		       D (xx0232@1)Til' the morning sun was shining on my bed
	      E7 (020130@1)And on times when she was sleeping
			    E (022100@1)I would smile and i'd remember
					    A (x02220@1)How they use to call us Jody and the kid


Verse 5:(half a tone higher)
	  Bb (x1333x@1)Now the words are alittle (x02210@1)older

	And the years have changed the river
	  Bb7 (x13131@1)		     Eb (x43121@3)Cause now they're houses where they didn't used to be
	       F7 (131241@1)And on Sundays i go walking
			     F (133211@1)Down the pathway to the levi
					   Bb (x1333x@1)With another little girl who follows me


Verse 6:
	  Bb (x1333x@1)And it makes the ole folks smile

	To see her tag along beside me
					       F7 (131241@1)Doing little things the way her mama did
              F7/
	But it gets alittle (x02210@1)lonesome

					    Bb (x1333x@1)Lucky under there goes Jody and the kid
