Kris Kristofferson, Jody And The Kid 3 Tabs

 I was going looking at the lyrics for Kris Kristofferson's tune; JODY AND 
 THE KID, and I noticed that some of the words weren't quite right.  Here 
 are the correct lyrics.
  
 As for my chords, they could be arguable.  But it has been so long since I 
 heard the original recording that I'm sure I have altered them after many 
 years of performing the tune.  But this arrangement has always worked for 
 me, and sounds quite nice when finger picked.  Ê - R. W. Jones

 "Looky yonder, there goes Jody and the kid"
 
 Repeat Intro:
 
 Even after we grew older, we could still be seen together 
 As we walked along the levee holding hands 
 For as surely as the season she was changin' to a woman 
 And I lived enough to call myself a manÊ 
 And she often lay beside me in the coolness of the eveningÊÊ 
 Til' the morning sun was shining on my bedÊ 
 And at times when she was sleeping, 
 I would smile when I'd remember 
 How they use to call us "Jody and the kid"
