G D7 G D7 One evening as the sun went down G D7 G And the jungle fires were burning, G D7 Down the track came a hobo hiking, G D7 G And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning C G C G I'm headed for a land that's far away C G D7 Besides the crystal fountains G D7 G D7 I'll see you all this coming fall G D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains C G It's a land that's fair and bright C G Where the handouts grow on bushes C D7 And you sleep out every night G The boxcars all are empty C G And the sun shines every day C G C G I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow C G C G Where the sleet don't fall, and the wind don't blow D7 G In the big rock candy mountains G Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees C G By the soda water fountain C By the lemonade springs G Where the bluebird sings D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains C G You never change your socks C G Little streams of alcohol C D7 Come a tricklin' down the rocks G Oh, the shacks all have to tip their hats C G The railroad bulls are blind C G C G There's a lake of stew and Ginger ale too C G C G You can paddle all around it in a big canoe D7 G In the big rock candy mountains G Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees C G By the soda water fountain C By the lemonade springs G Where the bluebird sings D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains C G The cops have wooden legs C G the bulldogs all have rubber teeth D7 And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs G The boxcars all are empty C G And the sun shines every day C G C G I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow C G C G Where the sleet don't fall, and the wind don't blow D7 G In the big rock candy mountains G Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees C G By the soda water fountain C By the lemonade springs G Where the bluebird sings D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains C G The jails are made of tin C G You can slip right out again C D7 As soon as they put you in G There ain't no short-handled shovels C G No axes, saws nor picks C G I'm bound to stay C G Where you sleep all day C G Where they hung the jerk C G That invented work D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains G Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees C G By the soda water fountain C By the lemonade springs G Where the bluebird sings D7 G In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
