[G]
I was born in [D] Macon, Georgia.
I kept my daddy in the [Gm] Macon shade.
[G] My daddy said, son, if you [C] keep your hands clean,
[G] you won't [D] hear them bloodhounds [G] on the train.
I fell in with [D] bad companions.
Robbed a man in
[G] Tennessee.
Sheriff caught me way [C] up in Nashville.
Lord, he [G] locked me [D] up back through the [G] wet key.
Yeah, I washed my hands in [D] muddy water.
I washed my hands, but [G] they didn't come clean.
Tried to do like [C] Daddy told me,
but I [G] must have [D] washed my hands in a [G] muddy dream.

[G]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] I asked the jailer, when is [D] my time?
He said, son, you know we [G] won't forget.
And if you just try to keep [C] them hands clean,
well, we [G] may [D] make a good man out [G] of you.
But I sure couldn't wait to do [D] my sin.
I broke on out of the [G] Nashville jail.
And I just crawled from Atlanta, [C] Georgia.
[G] Oh, and I can't hear [D] them bloodhounds [G] on the train.
Cause I washed my hands in [D] muddy water.
I washed my hands, but they didn't [G] come clean.
Tried to do [Gm] like Daddy [C] told me,
but [G] I must have washed my [D] hands in a muddy [G] dream. Mercy.
[D] [Gm]
