[VERSE]
     A5  C5  Dadd4   F5
  My terr-i-ble    ways
       C5         E5
  They got me in jail
        F5           C5
  Where some did succeed
    G5          A5
  I always did fail
        Ab5            C5       A5           F5   F5
  But I thought I was fine to wait for the day
           C5           Ab5       C5     F5 C5
  When I?d paid for my terrible ways  


A5  C5  D(add4)  F5 (x2)


[VERSE]
     A5   C5 Dadd4  F5
  My terr-i-ble   ways
       C5           E5
  They came to and end
        F5         C5              G5        A5
  When a mighty deluge freed the criminal men
        Ab5             C5
  But I stayed in Mississippi
      A5            F5    F5
  and three souls I saved
         C5        Ab5       C5   F5 C5
  and so ended my terrible ways

[CHORUS]
    F5             C5
    Terrible ways, terrible ways
    G5                 A5
    sooner or later a criminal pays
        F5                C5       A5
    And I?ll never have enough, enough
      D5     F5
    To pay this off

[VERSE]
      A5  C5  Dadd4   F5
  My terr-i-ble    ways
      C5           E5
  The govenor forgave
       F5              C5           G5            A5
  On account of three souls and account of the wave
       Ab5               C5        A5          F5  F5
  That took my wife and baby and swept them away
       C5           Ab5       C5    F5 C5
  All ?cause of my terrible ways

[CHORUS]
    F5             C5
    Terrible ways, terrible ways
    G5                 A5
    Sooner or later I know I?m going to pay
        F5                 C5       A5
    And I?ll never have enough, enough
       D5    F5
    To pay this off
