Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water Elvis Presley Recorded on June 7, 1970 Intro: D A D Verse 1: D A I was born in Macon Georgia D They kept my daddy over in Macon jail G He told me if you keep your hands clean D A D You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail
D A Well I fell in with bad companions D Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee G They caught me way up in Nashville D A D They locked me up and threw away the key Chorus: N.C. D A I washed my hands in muddy water D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream Verse 2: D A Well I asked the judge now when's my time up D He said son, oh you know we won't forget G If you try just to keep your hands clean D A D We might just make a good man of you yet D A Oh I couldn't wait to get my time up D I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail G I just crossed the state-line of Georgia D A D Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail Chorus: (x4) D A I washed my hands in muddy water A D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream Guitar Solo: D A D G D A D Chorus: (x3) D A Yeah, I washed my hands in muddy water D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream Outro: (Fade out after "Didn't come clean") D A Yeah, I washed my hands in muddy water D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
