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 underCstand
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 underCstand
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

C F

In Alamogordo New Mexico just a few years ago

G7 C

While the nations of this world were at war

America's greatest men were working hard then

G7 C

On the things that had never been before

When the Lord held out His mighty hand

So that others in this world might understand

That wars could never be and this world it must be free

G7 C

When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power

They were at Los Alamos Oak Ridge and old Paso

G7 C

Working in a downpour of rain

In that zero hour seeking out some heavenly power

G7 C

While the Star Spangled Banner was being played

When the Lord held out His mighty hand

So that others in this world might understand

That wars could never be and this world it must be free

G7 C

When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power

Then a flash a rumbling roar out across the desert floor

G7 C

They had found the atomic power from above

Then God with His mighty hand showed the world it could not stand

G7 C

When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power
