Chords
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
One Cevening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm Fheaded for a Cland that's Ffar aCway
BeFsides the crystal G7fount's
So Ccome with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
In the CBig Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a F/Aland that's fair and Cbright,
Where the Fhandouts grow on Cbushes
And you sleep out every G7night.
Where the Cboxcars all are empty
And the Fsun shines every day C
[Chorus]
And the Fbirds and the Cbees
And the Fcigarette Ctrees
The Flemonade Csprings
Where the Fbluebird Csings
In the GBig Rock Candy CMountains.
[Verse 3]
In the CBig Rock Candy Mountains
All the F/Acops have wooden Clegs
And the Fbulldogs all have Crubber teeth
And the hens lay softboiled G7eggs
The Cfarmers' trees are full of fruit
And the Fbarns are full of hay C
[Chorus]
Oh I'm Fbound to go C
Where there Fain't no Csnow
Where the Frain don't Cfall
The Fwinds don't Cblow
In the GBig Rock Candy CMountains.
[Verse 4]
In Cthe Big Rock Candy Mountains
F/AYou never change Cyour socks
And Fthe little streams of Calcohol
Come trickling down the G7rocks
The Cbrakemen have to tip their hats
And the Frailway bulls are Cblind
[Chorus]
There's a Flake of Cstew
And of Fwhiskey too C
You can Fpaddle all aCround it
In a Fbig canoe C
In the GBig Rock Candy CMountains
[Verse 5]
In the CBig Rock Candy Mountains,
The F/Ajails are made of Ctin.
And Fyou can walk right Cout again,
As soon as you are G7in.
There Cain't no shorthandled shovels,
No Faxes, saws nor Cpicks,
[Chorus]
I am Fgonna' stay C
Where you Fsleep all Cday,
Where they Fhung the jerk C
That invented work
In the GBig Rock Candy CMountains.
[Outro]
CI'FllC sFee you all this coming fall
In the GBig Rock Candy CMountains
