One evening as the sun went down, and the jungle fires were  
         C    
burning, down the track came a ho-bo hiking. And he said "Boys I'm not 
             F            C           F   C     F            
turning. I'm headed for a land that's far a-way be-side the crystal 
G             C  
fountains. So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains." 
 
       C                                     F                    C 
In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains. There's a land that's fair and bright,    
          F                 C              F               G 
Where the hand-outs grow on bushes and you sleep out every night. 
          C                              F                C  
Where the box-cars all are empty and the sun shines every-day. 
       F             C            F         C          F        C 
On the birds and the bees,and the cigarette trees, the lemonade springs,  
          F         C            G                 C 
where the blue bird sings in the Big Rock Candy Mountains.  
 
       C                                 F                C     
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, all the cops have wooden legs  
        F                  C                    F 
and the bull-dogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled 
G         C                                        F 
eggs. The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of 
C            F        C              F        C               F          C  
hay. Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow, where the rain don't fall, 
    F           C           G                 C   
the wind  don't blow in the Big Rock Candy Moun-tains.    
 
C                                    F                    C  
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. You nev - er change your socks.  
        F                  C               F                   G   
and the lit-tle streams of al-cohol come a trick-ling down the rocks. 
    C                                       F                   C 
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the rail-road bulls are blind. 
          F       C           F       C             F           C             F   C 
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too,  you can pad-dle all round'em in a big canoe 
       G                  C  
in the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains     
 
       C                             F                   C 
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, the jails are  made of tin. 
F                       C             F               G   
And you can walk right  out again, as soon as you are in. 
      C                                  F             C 
There ain't no short-handled shovels. No axes, saws or picks 
    F     C              F         C               F        C 
I'm gonna stay where you sleep all day, where they hung the jerk  
    F        C           G               C 
who invented work in the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains     
 
 
     F       C        F      C            G                 C 
I'll see you all this coming fall, in the Big Rock Candy Moun-tains.
