Intro

C
One evening as the sun went down, and the jungle
G
fire was
C
burning,
C
Down the track came a hobo hiking, and he said boys
G
I'm not
C
turning,
I'm
F
headed for a
C
land that's
F
far a
C
way, be
F
side the
C
crystal
G
fountain,
So
C
come with me we'll go and see, the
G
big rock candy
C
mountains.

Verse

In
C
the big rock candy mountains, there's a
F
land that's fair and
C
bright,
Where the
F
handouts grow on
C
bushes, and you
F
sleep out every
G
night.
Where the
C
boxcars all are empty, and the
F
sun shines every
C
day,
On the
F
birds and the
C
bees and the
F
candy cane
C
trees,
the
F
lemonade
C
springs where the
F
bluebird
C
sings,
in the
G
big rock candy
C
mountains.

Verse

In the
C
Big Rock Candy Mountains, all the
F
cops have wooden
C
legs,
And the
F
bulldogs all have
C
rubber teeth, and the
F
hens lay soft-boiled
G
eggs;
There, the
C
farmers’ trees are full of fruit, and the
F
barns are full of
C
hay;
And I’m
F
bound to
C
go where there
F
ain’t no
C
snow
And the
F
rain don’t
C
fall and the
F
wind don’t
C
blow
In the
G
Big Rock Candy
C
Mountains.

Verse

In the
C
Big Rock Candy Mountains, you
F
never change your
C
socks,
And the
F
little streams of
C
root beer come a-
F
tricklin’ down the
G
rocks;
There
C
ain’t no short-handle shovels,
F
no axes, spades or
C
picks;
I’m
F
bound to
C
stay where they
F
sleep all
C
day,
Where they
F
hung the
C
jerk that in
F
vented
C
work
In the
G
Big Rock Candy
C
Mountains.

Verse

In the
C
Big Rock Candy Mountains, the
F
jails are made of
C
tin,
And
F
you can walk right
C
out again as
F
soon as you are
C
in;
Why, the
C
brakemen have to tip their hats, and the
F
railroad bulls are
C
blind;
There’s a
F
lake of
C
stew and
F
gravy,
C
too;
You can
F
paddle all a
C
round them in a
F
big
C
canoe
In the
G
Big Rock Candy
C
Mountains.

Outro

C
I'll
F
see you
C
all this
F
coming
C
fall
In the
G
Big Rock Candy
C
Mountains.
