The Ballad Of Jody Baxter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
Do you re[C]member, Jody Baxter
When the [Em]whippoorwill sings
How you [F]stole across the pasture
To the [C]little hidden [G]spring?
Where you [C]laid down by the [Am]water
[C]On a bed [F]of Spanish [Dm]moss[G]
And [C]dreamed
When wind was on the prairie
And the [Em]fire was in the stove
With the [F]wood you had to carry
From the [C]corner of the [G]grove
And your [C]daddy let you [Am]dis app[C]ear
With [F]all your fishing [Dm]gear[G]
In[C]to the cove

[Chorus 1]
And it was [Am]good, good, [G]good
But now [C]it's gone, gone, [F]gone
And there's a [Am]little boy
Who's [G]lost out in the [F]woods
Always [Dm]looking [C]for the fawn

[Verse 2]
Cause I re[C]member, Jody Baxter
When I [Em]hid out in the corn
How the [F]clouds were moving faster
With the [C]coming of the [G]storm
And I [C]knew that I had [Am]broken
[C]Something [F]I could not rep[Dm]air[G]
And [C]I mourned
Because the field was green as Eden
Then it [Em]withered into brown
In the [F]middle of my grieving
They [C]came and cut it [G]down
And I was [C]sure that it was [Am]all my [C]fault
[F]The day they mowed the[Dm] garden
[G]To the[C] ground

[Chorus 2]
What was [Am]good, good, [G]good
[C]Is gone, gone, [F]gone
And there's a [Am]little boy
Who's [G]lost out in the [F]woods
Always [Dm]looking [C]for the fawn

[Bridge 1]
So [F]come back to me
Please, [C]come back to me
Is there [Am]any way that we can
[C]Change the ending of [F]this tragedy?
Or does it [G]have to be this way?

[Verse 3]
Now I can [C]see you, Jody Baxter
Now you're [Em]broken by the years
As you [F]lay down in the aster
And [C]listen [G]for the deer
And I'm a [C]million miles a[Am]way
But [C]I still p[F]ray the fawn c[Dm]an find m[G]e
[C]Here

[Chorus 3]
Because It was [Am]good, good, [G]good
But now [C]it's [F]gone
And there's a [Am]little boy
Who's [G]lost out in the [F]woods
[G]Always looking [C]for the fawn
Yes, I'm a [Am]little boy
Who's [G]lost out in the [F]woods
[Dm]Always looking [C]for the fawn
