C

[Verse 1]
C                            F    C
The first strange town I was ever in
C              G         C
The county was hangin' a man
C                  F        C
Nobody cared if he lived or died
C                 G    C
And I just didn't understand

[Chorus]
C    F                     C
So I washed my face in the morning dew
F                     C
Bathed my soul in the sun
F                     C
Washed my face in the morning dew
C           G       C
And kept on movin' along

[Verse 2]
C                       F     C
The second strange town I was in
C                       G             C
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
C                       F            C
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
C                 G    C
And I just didn't understand

[Chorus]
C    F                     C
So I washed my face in the morning dew
F                     C
Bathed my soul in the sun
F                     C
Washed my face in the morning dew
C           G       C       D
And kept on movin' along

[Verse 3]
D                           G     D
The third strange town that I was in
D            A            D
Was settled, peaceful and nice
D                           G        D
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer
D                 A           D
And to me it just didn't seem right

[Chorus]
D    G                     D
So I washed my face in the morning dew
G                     D
Bathed my soul in the sun
G                     D
Washed my face in the morning dew
D           A       D
And kept on movin' along

[Verse 4]
D                  G        D
Some day times are bound to change
D           A    D
It can't be very far
D                  G      D
And each injustice I have seen
D           A        D
Will come before the bar

[Chorus]
D         G                   D
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew
G                    D
Bathe my soul in the sun
G                   D
Wash my face in the morning dew
D              A       D    D
And my journey will be done
