Manzanita Chords by Dave Alvin

[B] _ _ [Em] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ Manzanita [C#m] growing wild [F#] on the _ _ hillside, _ _ [B] Where sage and [C#] _ eucalyptus fill [F#] the _ air.
_ _ _ [E] Through the _ [C#m] years I dream of [G#m] _ returning, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] But in my [E] heart the _ _ _ [F#] manzanita's there.
_ Her _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
parents never [C#m] liked it when [F#] I took her, _ _ _ _ [E] [B] Walking in the [C#m] canyons after _ [F#] _
sundown.
_ _ _ _ [E] Through the cactus, [C#m] _ _ sage and _ [G#m] manzanita, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] Till we found the secret [E] place to [F#] lay down. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] In the _ wintertime, [C#m] the rain beats on [F#] my _ window, _ _ [B] And in spring I [C#m] watch the cherry [F#] blossoms _ _ blow.
_ _ [E] So far [C#m] from my youth in [G#m] _ _
California, _ _ _ [C#m] So far [E] from the boy I used [F#] to _ know. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Manzanita growing [C#m] _ wild [F#] on the _ hillside, _ _ _ [B] Where sage and _ [C#m] eucalyptus fill [F#] the _ air.
_ _ _ [E] Through the _ years [C#m] I dream [G#m] of _ returning, _ _ _ _ [C#m] But in my heart the _ _ _ [F#] manzanita's there. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now [B] I see my [C#m] daughter's face [F#] in the mirror, _ _ _ [B] And I wonder [C#m] if she'll do what [F#] I have done.
_ _ _ [E] And walk [C#m] with her love [G#m] through the _ _ canyons, _ _ [C#m] Then wave his arms, turn away _ [F#] and run.
I _ _ [B] built houses [C#m] and highways [F#] near the hillside, _ _ _ [B] And I'm married [C#m] and divorced twice [F#] since then.
_ _ _ [E] But there's still _ [C#m] _ manzanita [G#m] in the _ _ canyons, _ _ Where [C#m] I pray someday [E] I'll walk with her [F#] _ again.

_ _ _ Through [E] the _ [C#m] years I dream [G#m] of returning.
