Woody Guthrie - Grand coulee dam

Well, the world has seven wonders, the ^Ctravelers always tell Some ^Dgardens and some towers, I guess you know them ^Gwell But the greatest wonder is in ^CUncle Sam's fair land It's that ^DKing Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee ^GDam

She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the ^Crippling waters glide Comes a-^Drumbling down the canyon to meet that salty ^Gtide Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the ^Csun sets in the west And the ^Dbig Grand Coulee country in the land I love the ^Gbest

In the misty crystal glitter of that ^Cwild and windward spray Men have ^Dfought the pounding waters and met a watery ^Ggrave Well, she tore their boats to splinters but she ^Cgave men dreams to dream Of the ^Dday the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted ^Gstream

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the ^Cyear of Thirty three For the ^Dfarmer and the factory and all of you and ^Gme He said, "Roll along Columbia. You can ^Cramble to the sea But ^Driver while you're ramblin' you can do some work for ^Gme"

Now in Washington and Oregon you ^Chear the factories hum Making ^Dchrome and making manganese and light alumi^Gnum And there roars a Flying Fortress now to ^Cfight for Uncle Sam Spawned up^Don the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee ^GDam

In the misty crystal glitter of that ^Cwild and windward spray Men have ^Dfought the pounding waters and met a watery ^Ggrave Well, she tore their boats to splinters but she ^Cgave men dreams to dream Of the ^Dday the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted ^Gstream
