Chords for Stonewall Jackson - Muddy Water

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was born in [D] Macon, Georgia.
I kept my daddy in the [G] Macon shade.
My daddy said, son, if you [C] keep your hands clean,
[G] you won't [D] hear them bloodhounds [G] on the roadside. _
I fell in with [D] bad companions.
They stole all the jacks.
Robbed a man in [G] Tennessee. _
Sheriff caught me way [C] up in Nashville.
Lord, he [G] locked me [D] up and threw [G] away the keys. _
Yeah, I washed my hands _ [D] in muddy water.
I washed my hands, but [G] they didn't come clean.
I tried to do like daddy [C] told me, _
[G] but I must have [D] washed my hands in a [G] muddy dream. _

I asked the jailer, when [D] is my time, love?
He said, son, you know we [G] won't forget.
And if you just try to [C] keep them hands clean,
well, [G] we may meet again.
Well, we [D] may meet again.
[G] _ _
But I sure couldn't wait to [D] do my sin.
I broke on out of the [G] Nashville jail.
And I just crawled right [C] along to Georgia. _
[G] Oh, well, I can't hear [D] them bloodhounds [G] on the street.
I was washed my hands in [D] muddy water.
I washed my hands, but they [G] didn't come clean. _
I tried [Gm] to do like my [C] daddy told me, _
[G] but I must have washed [D] my hands in a muddy [G] dream. Oh, mercy.
