Wash My Hands In The Morning Dew

D                            G    D
The first strange town I was ever in
D              A         D
The county was hangin' a man
D                  G        D
Nobody cared if he lived or died
D          A           D
And I just didn't understand

D    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

D                       G     D
The second strange town I was in
D                       A             D
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
D                       G            D
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
D          A           D
And I just didn't understand

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           D
And to me it just didn't seem right

D    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

D                   G        D
Some day things are bound to change
D           A    D
It can't be very far
D                  G      D
And each injustice I have seen
D           A        D
Will come before the bar

D         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
D   A               D
And keep on movin' along
D                  A       D
Yeah, I'll keep on movin' along
