[Verse 1]
D                            A
Green Douglas firs where the water cut through
A                           D
Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew
D                         G
Canadian Northwest to the ocean so blue
G    A                       D
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Chorus]
D        A
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
A        D
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
D             D7          G
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Verse 2]
D                            A
Tom Jefferson's vision would not let him rest
A                       D
An empire he saw in the Pacific Northwest
D                        G
Sent Lewis and Clark and they did the rest
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Chorus]
D        A
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
A        D
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
D             D7          G
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Verse 3]
D                           A
At Bonneville now there are ships in the locks
A                     D
Waters have risen and cleared all the rocks
D                        G
Shiploads of plenty will steam past the docks
G    A                       D
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Chorus]
D        A
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
A        D
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
D             D7          G
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Verse 4]
D                          A
And up on the river is the Grand Coulee Dam
A                        D
The mightiest thing ever built by a man
D                              G
To run the great factories and water the land
G    A                       D
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Chorus]
D        A
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
A        D
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
D             D7          G
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on


[Chorus]
D        A
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
A        D
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
D             D7          G
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
G  A                       D
So roll on, Columbia, roll on
