Chords for Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge - Ginseng Sullivan (4/8/2014)

_ _ _ 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.

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.
