C F C
The first strange town I was ever in
G7 C
The county was hanging a man
F C
Nobody cared if he lived or died
G7 C
And I just didn't understand
[Chorus]
F C
So I washed my face in the morning dew
F C
Bathed my soul in the sun
F C Am
Washed my face in the morning dew
C G7 C
And kept on moving along
[Verse]
F C
The second strange town that I was in
G7 C
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
F C
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
G7 C
I just didn't understand
F C
The third strange town that I was in
G7 C
Was settled peaceful and nice
F C
The rich got richer the poor got poorer
G7 C
And to me it didn't seem right
[Chorus]
F C
So I washed my face in the morning dew
F C
Bathed my soul in the sun
F C Am
Washed my face in the morning dew
C G7 C
And kept on moving along
[Verse]
F C
Well some times are bound to change
G7 C
A change can't be very far
F C
And each injustice I have seen
G7 C
Shall come before the bar
[Chorus/Outro]
F C
So I washed my face in the morning dew
F C
Bathed my soul in the sun
F C Am
Washed my face in the morning dew
C G7 C
And my journey will be done
G7 C
And my journey will be done
