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