********************************************************************* [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.

    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

    B/F#  B  F# F#7  B
And kept  on moving along.
[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...
