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
