I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew By Tom T Hall 9/4/2011 C F C The first strange town I was ever in C G C The county was hangin' a man C F C Nobody cared if he lived or died C G 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 Washed my face in the morning dew C G C And kept on movin' along 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 D G D The third strange town that I was in D A D Was settled, peaceful and nice D G D The rich got richer and the poor got poorer D A G 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 D A D And kept on movin' along 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
