Tonart: G major
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
C
is in Un cle Sam's fair land
D
It's the big Columbia River
and the big Grand Coulee Dam
G
She heads up the Canadian Rockies
C
where the rippling waters glide
D
Comes a -roarin' down the canyon,
G
Oh, 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,
And met a watery grave
G
Why, she tore their boats to splinters,
C
But she gave man dreams to dream
D
Of the day the Coulee Dam
G
would cross that wild and wasted stream
Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge
D
For the farmer and the factory
He said, roll along Columbia,
C
you can roll down to the sea
D
But River, while you're rambling,
G
you can do some work for me
In the misty crystal glitter
C
of the wild as the wind would spray
D
Men have fought the pounding waters
Why, she tore their boats to splinters,
D
C
but she gave men dreams to dream
D
Of the day the Coulee Dam
were crossed that wild and
Now from Washington and Oregon
C
you can hear the factories hum
D
Making chrome and making manganese
and white aluminum
G
Now roars a flying fortress
C
fortified for Uncle Sam
D
Along the hole in Key Columbia,
G
by the big grand Coulee Dam
In the misty crystal glitter
C
of the wild and windward spray
D
Man had fought the pounding waters,
G
and made a watery grave
D
G
Why she tore their boats to splinters,
C
D
but she came and dreamed a dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam
G
would cross that wild and wasted stream
Now the world holds seven wonders,
C
and the travellers always tell
D
Some gardens and some towers,
G
what a kiss you know them well
D
G
But now the greatest wonder
C
is in Uncle Sam's fair land
D
It's the big Columbia River
