Am  C  D(add4)  F  (x4)

[VERSE]
     Am  C  Dadd4   F
  My terr-i-ble    ways
       C         E7
  They got me in jail
        F           C
  Where some did succeed
    G          Am
  I always did fail
        Ab            C       A7           F   Fm
  But I thought I was fine to wait for the day
           C           Ab       C     F C
  When I?d paid for my terrible ways  


Am  C  D(add4)  F (x2)


[VERSE]
     Am   C Dadd4  F
  My terr-i-ble   ways
       C           E7
  They came to and end
        F         C              G        Am
  When a mighty deluge freed the criminal men
        Ab             C
  But I stayed in Mississippi
      A7            F    Fm
  and three souls I saved
         C        Ab       C   F C
  and so ended my terrible ways

[CHORUS]
    F             C
    Terrible ways, terrible ways
    G                 Am
    sooner or later a criminal pays
        F                C       Am
    And I?ll never have enough, enough
      D7/F#     F
    To pay this off

[VERSE]
      Am  C  Dadd4   F
  My terr-i-ble    ways
      C           E7
  The govenor forgave
       F              C           G            Am
  On account of three souls and account of the wave
       Ab               C        A7          F  Fm
  That took my wife and baby and swept them away
       C           Ab       C    F C
  All ?cause of my terrible ways

[CHORUS]
    F             C

    G                 Am
    Sooner or later I know I?m going to pay
        F                 C       Am
    And I?ll never have enough, enough
       D7/F#    F
    To pay this off
