PJ Harvey - Medicinals: guitar chords

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

Chorus:
     D#                 Fm
The sumac said, "We are always here"
     D#                  Fm
The witch hazel, "We are always here"
    D#                 Fm
The sassafras, "We are always here"
     D#              C#
The bluestem grasses always here

I looked about, what did I see?
Medicinals growing round' me
Rising from the gravel
Sumac and the Witch Hazel
Come to soothe our pain, our sores
Come to soothe our troubles

Chorus:
The Sumac said "We are always here"
The Witch Hazel - "We are always here"
The Sassafras - "We are always here"
The Bluestem grasses - "Always here"

           Cm       Fm      Gm             G#
But do you see that woman, sitting in the wheelchair?
          Cm             Fm          Gm                G#
With her Redskins cap on backwards, what's that she's singing?
          D#             Fm          Gm          G#
As from inside a paper wrapper, she sips from a bottle
   D#  G#  Fm  C# D#       C#     D#
A new painkiller, for the native people
