C G7 C
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
G7 C
Down the track came a hobo hikin' and he said boys I'm not turning
F C F C
I'm headed for a land that's far a way
F G7
be-side the crystal fountains
C
So come with me we'll go and see
G7 C
the big rock candy mountains
C C7 F C
In the big rock candy mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
F C F G7
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
C C7 F C
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
F C F C
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
F C F C
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
G7 C
In the big rock candy mountains
C C7 F C
In the big rock candy mountains all the cops have wooden legs
F C
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
F G7
and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
C C7 F C
The farmers' trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
F C F C
Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
F C F C
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
G7 C
In the big rock candy mountains
C C7 F C
In the big rock candy mountains you never change your socks
F C F G7
And the little streams of alcohol come a ‐ tricklin' down the rocks
C C7 F C
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
F C F C
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
F C F C
You can paddle all a round 'em in a big canoe
G7 C
In the big rock candy mountains
C C7 F C
In the big rock candy mountains the jails are made of tin
F C F G7
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
C C7 F C
There ain't no short handled ‐ shovels no axes saws or picks
F C F C
I'm a ‐ going to stay where you sleep all day
F C F C
Where they hung the jerk who in vented work
G7 C
In the big rock candy mountains
