GVerse 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 JapanVerse 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 G They took our house, the store, the 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
ManzanarVerse 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 JapanVerse 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
