MUDDY WATER Johnny Rivers
[G] [2] I was home in Macon, [D]Georgia
They kept my Daddy [D7] in the Macon [G]jail
He said, "Son, if you keep your [C]hands clean, uh huh
[G]You won't hear those [D7]bloodhounds on your [G]trail"
Verse 2:
I fell in with bad companions
I robbed a man up in Tennessee
And I got caught way up in Nashville, uh huh now
And they locked me up and threw away the key
CHORUS (same pattern as above 2 verses):
I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didn't come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
Verse 3:
[E7] I asked the [A]jailer, said "When's my [E]time up?"
He said "Son,[E7] you know we won't for[A]get
And if you try and just keep your [D]hands clean, uh huh
Why [A]we may just make a [E7]good man of you [A]yet"
Verse 4:
But I didn't wait to get my time in
I broke down, broke out the Nashville jail
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, oh now
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
(chorus; same pattern as above 2 verses)
[F7] I washed my [Bb]hands in muddy [F]water
I washed my hands, [F7] but they didn't come [Bb]clean
I tried to do like my daddy [Eb]told me, now
I [Bb]must have washed my [F7]hands in a muddy [Bb]stream
(repeat last line twice)
