[Intro 1]
[C][F][Dm][F][G][C][G]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well,
the world has seven wonders, the trav[C]elers always tell
Some [D]gardens and some towers,
I guess you know them [G]well
But the greatest wonder is
in Un[C]cle Sam's fair land
It's that [D]King Columbia River and the
big Grand Coulee [G]Dam

[Verse 2]
She heads [G]up the Canadian Rockies
where the [C]rippling waters glide
Comes a- [D]rumbling down the canyon
to meet that salty [G]tide
Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the
[C]sun sets in the west
And the [D]big Grand Coulee country
in the land I love the [G]be st

[Verse 3]
In the misty crystal [G]glitter of that
[C]wild and windward spray
Men have [D]fought the pounding waters
and met a watery [G]grave
Well, she tore their boats to splinters
but she [C]gave men dreams to dream
Of the [D]day the Coulee Dam would cross that
wild and wasted [G]stream

[Interlude 1]

[G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Uncle [G]Sam took up the challenge
in the [C]year of Thirty three
For the [D]farmer and the factory
and all of you and [G]me
He said, "Roll along Columbia.
You can [C]ramble to the sea
But [D]river while you're ramblin' you
can do some work for [G]me"

[Verse 5]
Now in Washington and [G]Oregon
you [C]hear the factories hum
Making [D]chrome and making manganese
and light alumin[G]um
And there roars a mighty furnace
now to [C]fight for Uncle Sam
Spawned [D]upon the King Columbia by the big Grand
Coulee [G]Dam

[Interlude 2]

[G][C][D]
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[D]In the [G]misty crystal glitter of [C]that wild
and windward spray
Men have [D]fought the pounding
waters and met a watery [G]grave
Well, she tore their boats to splinters
but she [C]gave men dreams to dream
Of the [D]day the Coulee Dam would cross that
wild and wasted [G]stream
