G [Verse 1] He said, my name is Nakashima
C G And I'm a proud American
C G I came here in '24
Am D From my homeland in Japan [Verse 2]
G And I picked your grapes and oranges
C G Saved some money, bought a store
C G Until Nineteen Forty-Two
Am D Pearl Harbour and the war [Verse 3]
G Came those relocation orders
C They took our house, the store, the
G car
C G Then they drove us to the desert
Am D To a place called Manzanar

[Verse 4]
G The Spanish word for "apple orchard"
C G Though we saw no apple trees
C G Only rows of prison barracks
Am D With barbed wire boundaries [Chorus] N.C. C G And we dream of apple blossoms
C D Waving free beneath the stars
C G Till we wake up in the desert
Am D The prisoners of Manzanar
G Manzanar [Verse 5] Fifty years, they've all but vanished
C G And now I am an old man
C G And I don't regret the day
Am D That I came here from Japan [Verse 6]
G But on moonlit winter nights
C G I often wish upon a star
C G That I'd forget the shame and sorrow
Am D That I felt at Manzanar [Chorus] N.C. C G And we dream of apple blossoms
C D Waving free beneath the stars
C G Till we wake up in the desert
Am D The prisoners of Manzanar
G Manzanar [Otro]
C G C D C G Am
D Manzanar
G Manzanar
