[Intro]
Asus2* A A* Asus4 Asus2* A A* Asus4
Asus2* A Asus2* A Asus2* A Asus2* A
[Verse 1]
Asus2* A D A
The first strange town I was ever in
Asus2* A E E7 A
The county was hanging a man
A D A
Nobody cared if he lived or died
A E E7 A
And I just didn't understand.
[Chorus]
D A A/E
So I washed my face in the morning dew
D D/A A
Bathed my soul in the sun
D D/A A A/E
Washed my face in the morning dew
A E E7 A
And kept on moving along.
[Verse 2]
A D A
The second strange town that I was in
A E E7/B A/E
They were laughin' at a poor crippled man
A D A
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
A E E7 A
And I just didn't understand.
[Chorus]
D A A/E
So I washed my face in the morning dew
D D/A A
Bathed my soul in the sun
D D/A A A/E
Washed my face in the morning dew
A E E7 A* A*
And kept on moving along.

[Verse 3]
B/F#* B E E/B B
The third strange town that I was in
B/F# F# F#7 B/F#* B
Was settled peaceful and nice
B/F#* B E E/B B
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer
B F# F#7 B/F# B
And to me it didn't seem right
[Chorus]
E E/B B B/F#* B
So I washed my face in the morning dew
E E/B B/F#* B
Bathed my soul in the sun
E E/B B/F#* B
Washed my face in the morning dew

[Verse 4]
B/F#* B E E/B B
Someday times are bound to change
B/F# F# F#7 B
It can't be ve-ry far
B B/F# E E/B B
And each injustice I have seen
B F# F#7 B/F#* B
Will come before the bar.
[Outro]
E E/B B B/F#* B
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew
E E/B B/F#* B
Bathed my soul in the sun
E E/B B/F#* B
Washed my face in the morning dew
B F# F#7 B/F#*
And my journey will be done...
