Medicinals PJ Harvey
Capo 1st fret
(Verse 1)
I was [Em]walking through the [Am]National Mall
[G]Thinking about me[C]dicinals, [Am]how they used to grow there
[Em]When the ground was [Am]a marshland
[G]Undisturbed by [C]human hands, [Am]and I heard their voices
(Chorus 1)
The [Am]sumac said, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]witch hazel, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]sassafras, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]bluestem grasses [Em]always here
(Verse 2)
[Em] [Am] [G] [C] [Am]
[Em] [Am] [G] [C] [Am]
I [Em]looked about, what [Am]did I see?
Me[G]dicinals gro[C]win' around me, [Am]rising from the gravel
[Em]Sumac and the [Am]witch hazel
[G]Come to soothe our [C]pain, our souls, [Am]come to soothe our troubles
(Chorus 2)
The [Am]sumac said, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]witch hazel, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]sassafras, "We are [Em]always here"
The [Am]bluestem grasses [Em]always here
(Outro)
But do you [Bm]see that wo[Em]man, [F#m]sitting in the [G]wheelchair?
With her [Bm]Redskins cap on back[Em]wards, [F#m]what's that she's [G]singing?
As from i[Bm]nside a paper wrap[Em]per, she [F#m]sips from a [G]bottle
A [F#]new painkil[Em]ler, [D]for the [C]native peo[D]ple
