The Grand Coolie Dam chords by Lonnie Donegan's Skiffle Group
Verse 1
G
Now the world holds seven wonders
C
that the travellers always tell
D
Some gardens and some towers,
G
I guess 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
Dam
G
She heads up the
Canadian
C
Rockies where the rip
pling waters glide
D
Comes a -roaring down the canyon,
Oh, to meet that salty tide
G
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, tore their boats to splinters,
C
but she gave men dreams to dream
D
Of the day the
Coulee
Dam would cross that wild
and wasted stream
G
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
heard men a -watering grain
Ice tore their boats to splinters,
D
C
but 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
manganese and white aluminum
G
D
Now
G
Rose and
Flying
C
Fortress fought a fight for
Uncle
Sam
Along the
D
Hounam
Quay,
Columbia, by the big grand
Coulee
G
Dam
In the misty crystal litter 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,
D
C
As 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
Outro 1
Dam.
