The Singing Scoutmaster: Big Rock Candy Mountain

COne evening as the sun went down and the jungle G7fire was Cburning

Down the track came a hobo hikin' and he said boys G7I'm not Cturning

I'm Fheaded for a Cland that's Ffar a Cway

be-Fside the crystal G7fountains

So Ccome with me we'll go and see

the big rock G7candy Cmountains

CIn the big rock candy C7mountains there's a Fland that's fair and Cbright

Where the Fhandouts grow on Cbushes and you Fsleep out every G7night

Where the Cboxcars all are C7empty and the Fsun shines every Cday

On the Fbirds and the Cbees and the Fcigarette Ctrees

The Flemonade Csprings where the Fbluebird Csings

In the G7big rock candy Cmountains

CIn the big rock candy C7mountains all the Fcops have wooden Clegs

And the Fbulldogs all have Crubber teeth

and the Fhens lay soft boiled G7eggs

The Cfarmers' trees are C7full of fruit and the Fbarns are full of Chay

Oh I'm Fbound to Cgo where there Fain't no Csnow

Where the Frain don't Cfall and the Fwind don't Cblow

In the G7big rock candy Cmountains

CIn the big rock candy C7mountains you Fnever change your Csocks

And the Flittle streams of Calcohol come a Ftricklin' down the G7rocks

The Cbrakemen have to C7tip their hats and the Frailroad bulls are Cblind

There's a Flake of Cstew and of Fwhiskey Ctoo

You can Fpaddle all a Cround 'em in a Fbig caCnoe

In the G7big rock candy Cmountains

CIn the big rock candy C7mountains the Fjails are made of Ctin

And Fyou can walk right Cout again as Fsoon as you are G7in

There Cain't no short handled C7shovels no Faxes saws or Cpicks

I'm a Fgoing to Cstay where you Fsleep all Cday

Where they Fhung the Cjerk who in Fvented Cwork

In the G7big rock candy Cmountains

Kazoo and strum for line 1 of the verse above:

C C7 F C

I'll Fsee you Call this Fcoming Cfall in the G7big rock candy Cmountains
