I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew
By Tom T Hall
9/4/2011
The [C]first strange town I was [F]ever [C]in
The [C]county was [G]hangin' a [C]man
[C]Nobody cared if he [F]lived or [C]died
And I [C]just didn't [G]under[C]stand
Chorus:
So I [F]washed my face in the [C]morning dew
[F]Bathed my soul in the [C]sun
[F]Washed my face in the [C]morning dew
And [C]kept on [G]movin' a[C]long
The second strange town I was in
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
And I just didn't understand
Chorus
Key Change to D
The [D]third strange town that [G]I was [D]in
Was [D]settled, [A]peaceful and [D]nice
The [D]rich got richer and the [G]poor got [D]poorer
And to [D]me it [A]didn't seem [G]right
So I [G]washed my face in the [D]morning dew
[G]Bathed my soul in the [D]sun
[G]Washed my face in the [D]morning dew
And [D]kept on [A]movin' a[D]long
Some day times are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen
Will come before the bar
Chorus
