Verse 1
G
Now the world holds seven wonders,
C
that the travellers always tell
D
Some gardens and some towers,
I guess you know them well
G
D
G
But now the greatest wonder is in
C
Uncle
Sam's fair land
D
It's the big
Columbia
River and the big
Grand
Coulee
Dam
G
She heads up the
Canadian
C
Rockies where the rip
pling waters glide
D
Comes a -roaring down the canyon
G
For to meet that salty tide
Of the big
Pacific
Ocean
C
Where the sun sinks in the west
D
In the big grand
Coulee country
G
In the land I love the best
In the misty crystal glitter
C
Of the wild and windward spray
D
Manna fought the pounding waters
G
And met a watery grave
Why she tore their boats to splinters
C
But she gave men dreams to dream
D
Of the day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
G
and wasted stream
Now
Uncle
Sam took up the challenge in
C
the year of thirty -three
D
For the farmer and the factory
G
and all of you and me
He said, roll along
C
Columbia, you can roll down to the sea
But
D
River, while you're rambling,
G
you can do some work for me
In the misty crystal glitter of the
C
wildest windward spray
D
Men have fought the pounding waters
G
and met a watery grave
Why she tore their boats to splinters but
D
C
she gave men dreams to dream
D
Of the day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
G
and wasted stream
Now from
Washington and
C
Oregon you can hear the factories hum
D
Making chrome and making
G
manganese and white aluminum
C
Now rolls a flying fortress fortified for
Uncle
Sam
D
Along the whole of
Key
Columbia, by the big grand
Coulee
G
Dam
In the misty crystal glitter of the
C
wild and windward spray
D
Men had fought the pounding waters,
G
and made a watery grave
D
G
Why she tore their boats to splinters,
C
D
but she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
G
and wasted stream
Now the world holds seven wonders,
C
and the travellers always tell
D
Some gardens and some towers,
G
what a gift you know them well
D
G
But now the greatest wonder is in
C
Uncle
Sam's fair land
D
It's the big
Columbia
River and the big
Grand
Coulee
