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