I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water chords by Stonewall Jackson

Chords with lyrics

G+G          D7D7
I was born in Macon Georgia

               G+G
They kept my dad in the Macon jail

       G7G7        C majorC
Dad said Son if you keep your hands clean

G+G          D7D7         G+G
You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail


            D7D7
But I fell in with bad companions

           G+G
We robbed a man in Tennessee

           G7G7    C majorC
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville

   G+G        D7D7       G+G
They locked me up and threw away the key

              D7D7
I washed my hands in muddy water

                    G+G
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean

       G7G7       C majorC
I tried to do like Daddy told me

   G+G          D7D7        G+G
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream


               D7D7
I asked the jailor When's my time up

           G+G
He said son we won't forget

        G7G7      C majorC
And if you try to keep your hands clean

G+G       D7D7       G+G
We may make a good man of you yet

             D7D7
I couldn't wait to do my sentence

               G+G
I broke out of the Nashville jail

        G7G7     C majorC
I just crossed the line of Georgia

   G+G       D7D7        G+G
And I can hear them bloodhounds on my trail


           D7D7
But I fell in with bad companions

           G+G
We robbed a man in Tennessee

           G7G7    C majorC
The sheriff caught me way up in Nashville

   G+G        D7D7       G+G
They locked me up and threw away the key
