Woody Guthrie - Grand coulee dam

Well, the wor^Gld has seven wonders that the ^Ctravelers always tell, Some ^Ggardens and some towers, I^D guess you know them well, But now t^Ghe greatest wonder is in U^Cncle Sam's fair land It's the big ^DColumbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam^G.

She he^Gads up the Canadian Rockies w^Chere the rippling waters glide, Comes a^G-roaring down the canyon to ^Dmeet the salty tide, Of the w^Gide Pacific Ocean where the ^Csun sets in the West And the big^D Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best^G.

In the ^Gmisty crystal glitter of that^C wild and wind ward spray, Men have ^Gfought the pounding waters and ^Dmet a watery grave, Well, she ^Gtore their boats to splinters but ^Cshe gave men dreams to dream Of the d^Day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream^G.

Uncle Sam^G took up the challenge ^Cin the year of 'thirty-three, For the ^Gfarmer and the factory and ^Dall of you and me, He said, "R^Goll along, Columbia, ^Cyou can ramble to the sea, But r^Diver, while you're rambling, you can do some work for me.^G"

Now in W^Gashington and Oregon you can ^Chear the factories hum, Making c^Ghrome and making manganese and l^Dight aluminum, And t^Ghere roars the flying fortress now to ^Cfight for Uncle Sam, Spawned u^Dpon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam^G.
