Tom T. Hall – I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew (Guitar)

    C                        F    C
The first strange town I was ever in

               G         C
The county was hangin' a man

                   F        C
Nobody cared if he lived or died

                  G    C
And I just didn't understand

     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

            G       C
And kept on movin' along

                        F     C
The second strange town I was in

                        G             C
They were laughing at a poor crippled man

                        F            C
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street

                  G    C
And I just didn't understand

     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

            G       C
And kept on movin' along

                            G     D
The third strange town that I was in

             A            D
Was settled, peaceful and nice

                            G        D
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer

             A           D
And to me it didn't seem right

     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

            A       D
And kept on movin' along

                   G        D
Some day times are bound to change

            A    D
It can't be very far

                   G      D
And each injustice I have seen

            A        D
Will come before the bar

          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

               A       D
And my journey will be done.
