[INTRO] Am 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

        G#            C       A7           F   Fm
  But I thought I was fine to wait for the day

           C           G#       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

        G#             C
  But I stayed in Mississippi

      A7            F    Fm
  and three souls I saved

         C        G#       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
Am C D(add9) F (x2) [SOLO] play verse 1x [CHORUS] repeat chorus Am C D(add4) F [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

       G#               C        A7          F  Fm
  That took my wife and baby and swept them away

       C           G#       C    F C
  All ‘cause of my terrible ways
[CHORUS]
    F             C
    Terrible ways, terrible ways

    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
