[Verse 1]
Em Am
I was walking through the National Mall
G C Am
Thinking about medicinals, how they used to grow there
Em Am
When the ground was a marshland
G C Am
Undisturbed by human hands, and I heard their voices
[Chorus 1]
D Em
The sumac said, "We are always here"
D Em
The witch hazel, "We are always here"
D Em
The sassafras, "We are always here"
D C
The bluestem grasses always here
[Verse 2]
Em Am G C Am
Em Am G C Am
Em Am
I looked about, what did I see?
G C Am
Medicinals growin™ around me, rising from the gravel
Em Am
Sumac and the witch hazel
G C Am
Come to soothe our pain, our souls, come to soothe our troubles
[Chorus 2]
D Em
The sumac said, "We are always here"
D Em
The witch hazel, "We are always here"
D Em
The sassafras, "We are always here"
D C
The bluestem grasses always here
[Outro]
Bm Em F#m G
But do you see that woman, sitting in the wheelchair?
Bm Em F#m G
With her Redskins cap on backwards, what's that she's singing?
Bm Em F#m G
As from inside a paper wrapper, she sips from a bottle
F# Em D C D
A new painkiller, for the native people
