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 (C major) Un 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 (C major) rippling 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 be (G major) st
In the misty crystal glitter
Of the wild (C major) and windward spray
Manna fought (D major) the pounding waters,
And met a watery grave
(G major) Why, she tore their boats to splinters,
But she gave (C major) man 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 33
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) as the wind would 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
were crossed 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
(G major) Now roars a flying fortress
fortified (C major) for Uncle Sam
Along the (D major) hole in Key Columbia,
by the big grand Coulee Dam (G major)
In the misty crystal glitter
of the wild (C major) and windward spray
Man had 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 came (C major) and dreamed a dream (D major)
Of the day the Coulee Dam
would cross that wild and wasted stream (G major)
Now the world holds seven wonders,
and the (C major) travellers always tell
Some gar (D major) dens and some towers,
what a kiss 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
Outro 1
