Tom Russell - Manzanar CAPO: 3rd Fret [Intro] G [Verse 1] He said, my name is Nakashima

And I'm a ^Cproud Ameri^Gcan I came ^Chere in '2^G4 From my ^Amhomeland in Ja^Dpan

[Verse 2]

And I ^Gpicked your grapes and oranges Saved some ^Cmoney, bought a ^Gstore Until ^CNineteen Forty-^GTwo Pearl ^AmHarbour and the ^Dwar

[Verse 3]

Came th^Gose relocation orders They took our ^Chouse, the store, the ^Gcar Then they ^Cdrove us to the ^Gdesert To a ^Amplace called Manza^Dnar

[Verse 4]

The Spa^Gnish word for "apple orchard" Though we ^Csaw no apple ^Gtrees Only ^Crows of prison ^Gbarracks With ^Ambarbed wire bounda^Dries

[Chorus]

N.C.

And we ^Cdream of apple ^Gblossoms Waving ^Cfree beneath the ^Dstars Till we ^Cwake up in the ^Gdesert The priso^Amners of Manza^Dnar Manza^Gnar

[Verse 5] Fifty years, they've all but vanished

And now ^CI am an old ^Gman And I ^Cdon't regret the ^Gday That I ^Amcame here from Ja^Dpan

[Verse 6]

But on ^Gmoonlit winter nights I often ^Cwish upon a ^Gstar That I'd for^Cget the shame and ^Gsorrow That I ^Amfelt at Manza^Dnar

[Chorus]

N.C.

And we ^Cdream of apple ^Gblossoms Waving ^Cfree beneath the ^Dstars Till we ^Cwake up in the ^Gdesert The priso^Amners of Manza^Dnar Manza^Gnar
