                 C                        F   
 In Alamogordo New Mexico just a few years ago
 
           G7                            C  
 While the nations of this world were at war
 
                             F                
 America's greatest men were working hard then
 
        G7                         C     
 On the things that had never been before
 
                                   G7  
 When the Lord held out His mighty hand
 
                                         C    
 So that others in this world might understand
 
                                   F                    
 That wars could never be and this world it must be free
 
           G7                             C    
 When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power
 
                             F                 
 They were at Los Alamos Oak Ridge and old Paso
 
 G7                       C   
 Working in a downpour of rain
 
                           F                      
 In that zero hour seeking out some heavenly power
 
           G7                             C     
 While the Star Spangled Banner was being played
 
                                   G7  
 When the Lord held out His mighty hand
 
                                         C    
 So that others in this world might understand
 
                                   F                    
 That wars could never be and this world it must be free
 
           G7                             C    
 When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power
 
                                  F                      
 Then a flash a rumbling roar out across the desert floor
 
          G7                          C    
 They had found the atomic power from above
 
                                          F                       
 Then God with His mighty hand showed the world it could not stand
 
           G7                             C    
 When they found the mighty mighty Atomic Power
