Verse 1:

   E minorEm         A minorAm
I was walking through the National Mall
G+G        C majorC     A minorAm
Thinking about medicinals, how they used to grow there
E minorEm         A minorAm
When the ground was a marshland
G+G       C majorC      A minorAm
Undisturbed by human hands, and I heard their voices

Chorus 1:

  A minorAm         E minorEm
The sumac said, "We are always here"
  A minorAm          E minorEm
The witch hazel, "We are always here"
  A minorAm         E minorEm
The sassafras, "We are always here"
  A minorAm        E minorEm
The bluestem grasses always here


Verse 2:

E minorEm A minorAm G+G C majorC A minorAm
E minorEm A minorAm G+G C majorC A minorAm

 E minorEm         A minorAm
I looked about, what did I see?
 G+G      C majorC        A minorAm
Medicinals growin’ around me, rising from the gravel
E minorEm      A minorAm
Sumac and the witch hazel
G+G         C majorC        A minorAm
Come to soothe our pain, our souls, come to soothe our troubles

Chorus 2:

  A minorAm         E minorEm
The sumac said, "We are always here"
  A minorAm          E minorEm
The witch hazel, "We are always here"
  A minorAm         E minorEm
The sassafras, "We are always here"
  A minorAm        E minorEm
The bluestem grasses always here


Outro:

      B minorBm     E minorEm  F# minorF#m      G+G
But do you see that woman, sitting in the wheelchair?
     B minorBm         E minorEm   F# minorF#m        G+G
With her Redskins cap on backwards, what's that she's singing?
     B minorBm        E minorEm    F# minorF#m     G+G
As from inside a paper wrapper, she sips from a bottle
 F#F#     E minorEm  D MajorD    C majorC     D MajorD
A augmentedA new painkiller, for the native people
