Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge - Ginseng Sullivan (4/8/2014) chords
Jam Along & Learn...
That's kind of one of the things that Julia and I love to try and explore a little bit is doing that.
Don't really get too much in our day jobs.
That's true.
So
[Eb] What's your day job?
Well, [D] it's this.
It's different to [N] being a role model.
Different colleagues.
Yeah, exactly.
[G]
But anyway, this [Eb] is a song written by the great [A] American songwriter, flat picker, just awesome guy, [N] Norman Blake.
This is a tune called Ginseng Song.
[A] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Gm] [Eb]
About three miles from the Bethesda yard, when the beavers [Ab] curled down,
not far [Eb] south in the town [Cm] depot, a sudden [Gm] checker smell,
[Bb]
back on the [Eb] high ground.
Mid-May summer, things turned up,
companies would pay [Ab] high,
not making a [Eb] line to pay the [Cm] bills,
they'd be a [Gm] mile from by,
[Bb] maybe [Eb]
sit over the side.
It's a long way to the camp,
up [Ab] from the north Jordan hills,
and toadstack [Eb] fudge and sang,
won't pay no [Ab] travel bills.
I'm [Db]
too [Eb] old to ride around [Cm] off the [Eb] home alone,
but I guess I'll [Ab] never make it [Eb] back to home,
my muddy water just took me down to home.
[Ab]
[Bb] [Eb]
[C] [Gm]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Gm] [C]
[Eb]
Yeah, the winters here, they get too cold,
camping makes me [Ab] ill,
can't dig no [Eb] roots on the mountainside,
when the ground grows [Gm] hard and still,
[Bb] got to stay at the foot of the hill.
Mid-May summer, things turned up,

[Eb] but I guess I'll [Ab] never make it back to home,
my muddy water just took me down to home.

[Bb]
[Eb]
It's a long way to the delta,
[Ab] from the north Jordan hills,
[Eb] and toadstack fudge and sang,
won't pay no [Ab] travel bills.
[F] I'm too [Eb] old to ride around [Fm]
off the [Bb] home alone,
[Eb] but I guess I'll never make it back to home,
my muddy water just took me down to home,
my muddy [Ab] water just [Eb] took me down to home.
my muddy water just took me down to home.
