Hawkshaw Hawkins - When they found the atomic power

^CIn Alamogordo New Mexico ^Fjust a few years ago While the ^G7nations of this world were at ^Cwar

America's greatest men were ^Fworking hard then On the ^G7things that had never been ^Cbefore

When the Lord held out His mighty ^G7hand So that others in this world might under^Cstand

That wars could never be and this ^Fworld it must be free When they ^G7found the mighty mighty Atomic ^CPower

They were at Los Alamos Oak ^FRidge and old Paso ^G7Working in a downpour of ^Crain

In that zero hour seeking ^Fout some heavenly power While the ^G7Star Spangled Banner was being ^Cplayed

When the Lord held out His mighty ^G7hand So that others in this world might under^Cstand

That wars could never be and this ^Fworld it must be free When they ^G7found the mighty mighty Atomic ^CPower

Then a flash a rumbling roar out ^Facross the desert floor They had ^G7found the atomic power from ^Cabove

Then God with His mighty hand showed the ^Fworld it could not stand When they ^G7found the mighty mighty Atomic ^CPower
