Roll On Columbia

Written by Woody Guthrie/Lead Belly

	  		
verse 1 
C                            G 
Green Douglas firs where the waters cut through. 
                            C 
Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew. 
         C7               F 
Canadian Northwest to the ocean so blue, 
     G                       C 
It's Roll on, Columbia, roll On! 

tabchorus
C G Roll on, Columbia, roll on. G C Roll on, Columbia, roll on. C7 F Your power is turning our darkness to dawn, G C So, Roll on, Columbia, roll on

verse 2 C G Other great rivers add power to you, G C Yakima, Snake, and the Klickitat, too, C7 F Sandy, Willamette, and Hood River, too; G C Roll on Columbia, roll on! C G It's there on your banks that you fought many a fight, G C Sheridan's boys in the block house at night, C7 F They saw us in death, but never in flight; G C Roll on, Columbia, roll on!
tabchorus
C G Roll on, Columbia, roll on. G C Roll on, Columbia, roll on. C7 F Your power is turning our darkness to dawn, G C So, Roll on, Columbia, roll on

verse 3 C G Our loved ones we lost there at Coe's little store, G C By fireball and rifle, a dozen or more, C7 F We won by the Mary and soldiers she bore; G C Roll on, Columbia, Roll On! C G Remember the trial when the battle was won, G C The wild Indian warriors to the tall timber run, C7 F We hung every Indian with smoke in his gun; G C Roll on, Columbia, Roll on! C G Year after year we had tedious trials, G C Fighting the rapids at Cascades and Dalles. C7 F The Injuns rest peaceful on Memaloose Isle; G C Roll on, Columbia, Roll on!
tabchorus
C G Roll on, Columbia, roll on. G C Roll on, Columbia, roll on. C7 F Your power is turning our darkness to dawn, G C So, Roll on, Columbia, roll on
tab
verse 4 C G At Bonneville now there are ships in the locks, G C The waters have risen and drownded the rocks, C7 F Ship loads of plenty will steam in the docks, G C Roll On, Columbia, Roll On! C G On up the river at Grand Coulee Dam, G C Mightiest thing ever built by a man, C7 F We run the great factories for old Uncle Sam, G C It's roll on, Colombia, Roll on.
tabchorus
C G Roll on, Columbia, roll on. G C Roll on, Columbia, roll on. C7 F Your power is turning our darkness to dawn, G C So, Roll on, Columbia, roll on
