[C]
[A] [E] [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 [G] crystal 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 [C] and bright, [F] where the handouts [C] grow on bushes.
And you sleep out [G] every night, [C] where the boxcars all are empty, [F] and the sun shines [C] every day.
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees, the lemonade springs where the bluebird [G] sings in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] all the cops have [C] wooden legs, and the bulldogs all [C] have rubber teeth, and the hens lay soft [G]-boiled eggs.
[C] The farmer's trees are full of fruit, [F] and the barns are full of [C] hay.
[F] Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow, where the [D] rain don't fall, the wind don't [G] blow, in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [Am] you never change [C] your socks, [F] and the little [C] streams of alcohol come a [G]-trickling down the rocks.
[C] The brakemen have to tip their [Am] hats, and the railroad bulls [C] are blind.
There's a lake of stew and a whiskey too, you can paddle all around them in a big [G] canoe, in the big rock candy [C]
mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] the jails are [C] made of tin, [F] and you can [C] walk right out again as soon as [G] you are in.
[C] There ain't no short-handled shovels, [Am] no axes, saws, [C] or picks.
[Am] I'm a-gonna [C] stay where you sleep all day, where they hung the Turk that invented work [G] in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
[F]
[C]
I'll see you all this coming [G] fall in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
