He thought she really loved him
C Am
Cuz lovin' eyes are blind
C Em
But Silas had a temper
C D
And she was the cheatin' kind
G Em
Tears ran down his face like rivers
C Am
As she died there in the sand
C Am C
But water won't wash blood off guilty hands

No, water won't wash blood off guilty hands
He took to drinkin' liquor
Cuz he knew what he'd done wrong
Had an empty bottle and a Bible
And he hums to 'Delia's Gone'
He couldn't lose her memory
No matter how he ran
Cuz whiskey won't take blood off guilty hands
No whiskey can't wash blood off guilty hands
He sat down in the hallway
Barrell pressed against his chin
Finger resting on the trigger
And he prays to God again
He says 'Father please forgive me
but I'm an old old man
And time couldn't wear the blood off guilty hands
No time wouldn't wear the blood off guilty hands
Anyway, its a little story song type thing. There's a little slide thingy I do as an intro but i won't bore yall with tablature this time.
