George Thorogood - I washed my hands in muddy water Chords

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was born in [C] Macon, Georgia
Like my dad in the [F] Macon jail
He said, son, if you keep [Bb] your hands clean
[Fm] [F] You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail
But I fell in [Fm] with paddy [C] packets
We robbed a man in [F] Tennessee
They caught me way [Bb] up by Nashville
[Fm] They [F] locked me [C] up and they threw [F] away the key
Well, I washed my hands [Fm] in [C] muddy water
I washed my hands, but they [F] wouldn't come clean
I tried to do like [Bb] daddy told me
[F] But I must have [C] washed my hands in a [F] muddy stream
I asked the jailer, _ when's my [C] time up?
He said, son, [Cm] we [F] won't forget
But if you try to [Bb] keep your hands clean
[F] We might [C] just make a good man [F] of you yet
But I couldn't wait to [C] serve my sentence
So I broke out of the [F] Tennessee jail
I just crossed that [Bb] line of Georgia
[Fm] And [F] I can hear [C] them bloodhounds on [F] my trail
He said, I washed my hands in [C] muddy water
I washed my hands, but they [Fm] wouldn't come [F] clean
I tried to do like [Bb] daddy told me
[F] But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
