{t:Grand Coulee Dam (Donegan)} {key: G} {artist: Lonnie Donegan} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HckmcNP19Sk {c: } Now, the [G] world holds seven wonders as the [C] travellers always tell. some [D] gardens and some towers, I [D7] guess you know them [G] well. But now the greatest wonder is in [C] Uncle Sam's fair land, it’s the [D] big Columbia river and the [D7] big Grand Coulee [G] Dam. She [G] heads up the Canadian Rockies where the [C] rippling waters glide, comes a-[D]roaring down the canyon for to [D7] meet that salty [G] tide of the great Pacific Ocean where the [C] sun sets in the west, in the [D] big Grand Coulee country in the [D7] land I love the [G] best. In the [G] misty crystal glitter of that [C] wild and windward spray, men have [D] fought the pounding waters and [D7] met a watery [G] grave. While she tore their boats to splinters, she [C] gave men dreams to dream, of the [D] day the Coulee Dam would cross that [D7] wild and restless [G] stream. Now, Uncle [G] Sam took up the challenge in the [C] year of thirty three, for the [D] farmer and the factory and [D7] 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 [D7] do some work for [G] me ! In the [G] misty crystal glitter of that [C] wild and windward spray, men have [D] fought the pounding waters and [D7] met a watery [G] grave. While she tore their boats to splinters, she [C] gave men dreams to dream, of the [D] day the Coulee Dam would cross that [D7] wild and restless [G] stream. Now from [G] Washington and Oregon you can [C] hear the factories hum, making [D] chrome and making manganese and [D7] white alumini-[G]um. Now roars the Flying Fortress for to [C] fight for Uncle Sam, along the [D] roaring King Columbia by the [D7] big Grand Coulee [G] dam. In the [G] misty crystal glitter of that [C] wild and windward spray, men have [D] fought the pounding waters and [D7] met a watery [G] grave. While she tore their boats to splinters, she [C] gave men dreams to dream, of the [D] day the Coulee Dam would cross that [D7] wild and restless [G] stream. Now, the [G] world holds seven wonders as the [C] travellers always tell. some [D] gardens and some towers, I guess you [D7] know them [G] well. But now the greatest wonder is in [C] Uncle Sam's fair land, it’s the [D] big Columbia river and the big Grand Coulee [G] Dam.
