Jody and the Kid - chords, tab and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Written in 1968, Roy Drusky got the first hand on it. Kris himself recorded it 1971, lacking material for his second Monument album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I". It is a nice and simple song about nice and simple people ... for nice and simple people. You can do a lot of good finger-picking within the few and simple chords.Kris Kristofferson died on Saturday 28th of September 2024, at the age of 88. God bless him. His work will stand out for the rest of our earthly life.
G she would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river G Am ... D7 waiting patient by the chinaberry tree Am D7 Am D7 with her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee Am D7 G and her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me G G7 C trying hard to copy everything I did Am D7 Am D7 but I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying Am D7 G looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid
The song is often given an interlude "G ... Gmaj7 ... G6 ... Gmaj7"
and is usually played raising the key one note sharp with the third verse.
