      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
