Intro 1
(D major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
Verse 1
Do you remem (D major) ber, Jody Baxter
When the (D/F#) whippoorwill sings
How you (G major) stole across the pasture
To the (D/A) little hidden (A major) spring?
Where you (D major) laid down (D/C#) by the (B minor) water
(D/A) On a bed (G major) of Span (G/F#) ish (E minor) moss (A major)
And (D major) dreamed (Dsus4)
When wind (D major) was on the prairie
And the (D/F#) fire was in the stove
With the (G major) wood you had to carry
From the (D/A) corner of the (A major) grove
And your (D major) daddy (D/C#) let you (B minor) dis appear (D/A)
With all (G major) your (G/F#) fishing (E minor) gear (A major)
In (D major) to the cove (Dsus4)

Chorus 1
And it was (B minor7) good, good, (Asus4) good
But now it's (D/F#) gone, gone, gone (Gsus2)
And there's a (B minor7) little boy
Who's (Asus4) lost out in the (Gsus2) woods
Always (E minor7) looking for (D major) the fawn
Verse 2
Cause I re (D major) member, Jody Baxter
When I (D/F#) hid out in the corn
How the (G major) clouds were moving faster
With the (D/A) coming of the storm (A major)
And I (D major) knew that (D/C#) I had (B minor) broken
(D/A) Something (G major) I could (G/F#) not repair (E minor) (A major)
And I (D major) mourned (Dsus4)
Because the field (D major) was green as Eden
Then it (D/F#) withered into brown
In the (G major) middle of my grieving
They (D/A) came and cut it (A major) down
And I was (D major) sure that (D/C#) it was all (B minor) my (D/A) fault
(G major) The day (G/F#) they mowed the (E minor) garden
(A major) To (D major) the ground (Dsus4)
Chorus 2
What was (B minor7) good, good, good (Asus4)
Is (D/F#) gone, gone, gone (Gsus2)
And there's a (B minor7) little boy
Who's (Asus4) lost out in the (Gsus2) woods
Always (E minor7) looking for (D major) the fawn
Bridge 1
So come (Gsus2) back to me
Please, come (D/F#) back to me
Is there (B minor7) any way that we can
Change (D/A) the ending of this (Gsus2) tragedy?
Or does it (Asus4) have to be this way?
Interlude 1
(D major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (D/A) (A major)
(D major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (D/A) (A major)
Verse 3
Now I can see (D major) you, Jody Baxter
Now you're (D/F#) broken by the years
As you (G major) lay down in the aster
And (D/A) listen for (A major) the deer
And I'm a mil (D major) lion (D/C#) miles a (B minor) way
But (D/A) I still (G major) pray the (G/F#) fawn can (E minor) find (A major) me
(D major) Here (Dsus4)
Chorus 3
Because It was (B minor7) good, good, good (Asus4)
But now it's (D/F#) gone (Gsus2)
And there's a (B minor7) little boy
Who's (Asus4) lost out in the (Gsus2) woods
Always (Asus4) looking for (D major) the fawn
Yes, I'm a (B minor7) little boy
Who's (Asus4) lost out in the (Gsus2) woods
Always (E minor7) looking for (D major) the fawn
