D A I was born in Macon Georgia D They kept my daddy over in Macon jail G He told me if you keep your hands clean D A D You won't hear them bloodhounds on your trail D A Well I fell in with bad companions D Robbed a man, oh up in Tennessee G They caught me way up in Nashville D A D They locked me up and threw away the key Chorus: D A I washed my hands in muddy water D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream Well I asked the judge now when's my time up He said son, oh you know we won't forget If you try just to keep your hands clean We might just make a good man of you yet Oh I couldn't wait to get my time up I broke out, broke out of Nashville jail I just crossed the state-line of Georgia Well I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail Chorus D A D G D A D Chorus: D A Yeah, I washed my hands in muddy water D Washed my hands, but they didn't come clean G Tried to do what my daddy told me D A D But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
