Intro Verse . . .
One [D]evening, [A7]as the [D]sun went [G]down,
And the [D]jungle [A7]fires were [D]burning,
Down the [D]track [A7]came a [D]hobo, [G]humming,
And he said, [D]"Boys, [A7]I'm not [D]turning.
I'm [G]headed for a [D]land that's [Em]far far a-[D]way,
Be-[G]side the crystal [A]fountains.
I'll [D]see you [A7]all this [D]coming [A7]fall,
In the [D]Big Rock [A7]Candy [D]Mountain.
. . .
In the [D]Big Rock Candy Mountains, There's a [G]land that's fair and [D]bright,
Where the [G]handouts grow on [D]bushes, And you [Em]sleep out ev'ry [A7]night,
Where the [D]boxcars are all empty, And the [G]sun shines ev'ry [D]day
O the [G]birds and the [D]bees, And the [G]cigarette [D]trees,
The [G]rock rye [D]springs, Where the [G]whang doodle [D]sings
In the [A7]Big Rock Candy [D]Mountains.
. . .
In the [D]Big Rock Candy Mountains, All the [G]cops have wooden [D]legs,
And the [G]bulldogs all have [D]rubber teeth, And the [Em]hens lay soft-boiled [A7]eggs.
The [G]farmer's trees are full of fruit, And the [G]barns are full of [D]hay.
O I'm [G]bound to [D]go, where there [G]ain't no [D]snow,
Where the [G]sleet don't [D]fall and the [G]wind don't [D]blow
In the [A7]Big Rock Candy [D]Mountains.
. . .
In the [D]Big Rock Candy Mountains, You [G]never change your [D]socks,
And the [G]little streams of [D]alkyhol, Come [Em]trickling down the [A7]rocks.
The [G]shacks all have to tip their hats, And the [G]railroad bulls are [D]blind,
There's a [G]lake of [D]stew and of [G]whiskey, [D]too,
And you can [G]paddle all a-[D]round in a [G]paper ca-[D]noe
In the [A7]Big Rock Candy [D]Mountains.
. . .
In the [D]Big Rock Candy Mountains, The [G]jails are made of [D]tin,
And you can [G]bust right out [D]again, As [Em]soon as they put you [A7]in.
There [G]ain't no shorthandled shovels, No [G]axes, saws or [D]picks-
I'm a-[G]going to [D]stay, where you [G]sleep all [D]day
Where they [G]boiled in [D]oil the in-[G]ventor of [D]toil
In the [A7]Big Rock Candy [D]Mountains.
