[C] [Am] [C]
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning, down the track came a hobo hiking.
And he said, boys, I'm not turning.
[D] I'm headed for a land that's far away, [Dm] beside the crystal [G] fountains.
So come with me, we'll go and see the big rock [C] candy mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] there's a land that's fair and bright, [Dm] where the handouts [C] grow on bushes.
And you sleep out [G] every night, [C] where the boxcars all are empty, and the sun shines every day.
[D] On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees, the lemonade springs where the [G] bluebird sings, in the big rock [C] candy mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] all the cops have wooden legs, [G] and the bulldogs [C] all have rubber teeth, and the hens lay [G] soft boiled eggs.
[C] The farmer's trees are full of [F] fruit, and the barns [C] are full of hay.
Oh, I'm [F] bound to go where there ain't no snow, where the rain don't fall, the wind [G] don't blow, in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, you never change your socks, and the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down [G] the rocks.
[C] The brakemen have to tip their [Am] hats, and the railroad [C] bulls are blind.
There's a lake of stew and a whiskey tube, you can paddle all around them in a [G] big canoe, in the big rock [C] candy mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] the jails are [C] made of tin, [F] and you can walk [C] right out again as soon as [G] you are in.
[C] There ain't no short-handled [Am] shovels, no axes, [C] saws, or picks.
I'm a-going to stay where you sleep all day, where they hung the Turk that invented [G] work, in the big rock [C] candy mountains.
[F] [C]
I'll see you all this [G] coming fall, in the big rock candy mountains.
