Verse 1
(G major) Now the world holds seven wonders
that the (C major) travellers always tell
Some gar (D major) dens and some towers,
I guess you know them well (G major)
But now the greatest (D major) won (G major) der is in
Un (C major) cle
Sam's fair land
It's the (D major) big
Columbia
River and the big
Grand
Coulee
Dam
(G major) She heads up the
Canadian
Rockies where the rippling (C major) waters glide
Comes a (D major) -roarin' down the canyon,
Oh, to meet that salty tide (G major)
Of the big
Pacific
Ocean,
Where the sun (C major) sinks in the west,
In the (D major) big grand
Coulee country,
In the land I love the best. (G major)
In the misty crystal glitter
Of the wild (C major) and windward spray,
Man (D major) na fought the pounding waters,
And met a watery grave.
(G major) Why, tore their boats to splinters,
but she gave (C major) men dreams to dream
Of the (D major) day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
and wasted stream (G major)
Now
Uncle
Sam took up the challenge in
the (C major) year of thirty -three
For the (D major) farmer and the factory
and all of you and me (G major)
He said, roll along
Columbia, you can roll (C major) down to the sea
But
River, (D major) while you're rambling,
you can do some work for me (G major)
In the misty crystal glitter of the
wild (C major) and windward spray
Men have fought (D major) the pounding waters
and met a watery grave (G major)
Why, she tore their boats to splinters,
(D major) but she gave (C major) men dreams to dream
Of the (D major) day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
and wasted stream (G major)
Now from
Washington and
Oregon you can hear (C major) the factories hum
Making chrome (D major) and making
manganese and white aluminum
Now (G major)
Rose the
Flying
Fortress fought a fight (C major) for
Uncle
Sam
Along the
(D major) Holland
Quay,
Columbia, by the big grand
Coulee
Dam
(G major) In the misty crystal litter of the
wild (C major) and windward spray
Manna fought (D major) the pounding waters
and made a watery (G major) grave
(D major) Why (G major) she tore their boats to splinters,
but she gave (C major) men dreams to dream (D major)
Of the day the
Coulee
Dam was crushed and the wild
and wasted stream (G major)
Now the world holds seven wonders,
as the (C major) travellers always tell
Some gar (D major) dens and some towers,
what a kiss you know (G major) to well
But now the greatest (D major) won (G major) der is in
Un (C major) cle
Sam's fair land
It's the (D major) big
Columbia
River, and the big
Grand
Coulee
