The Big Rock Candy Mountain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
One [G]even[D] in[A]g[D]
as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were a -burnin'
Along the road come a hobo
And he said, boys, I'm not turnin'
I'm [G]headed for a land that's [D]far away
Beside the [A]crystal fountain
I'll see you [D]all this comin' fall
On [A]the big rock candy mountain
[D]On the big rock candy mountain,
there's [G]a land that's clear and [D]bright,
where [G]handouts [Em]grow on [D]bushes,
so you eat out every [A]night.
Where the [D]boxcars all are empty,
and the [G]sun shines every [D]day,
I'm [G]bound to go where
there ain't no snow.
Rain don't [D]fall and the [G]wind don't blow
on the [A]big rock candy [D]moun[F#m]tain.[A]
[D]On the big rock candy mountain,
the [G]cops have wooden leg[D]s
Watch dogs [G]all have [D]rubber teeth,
the [E]hens lay hard -boiled [A]eggs
The [D]trees are full of apples,
[G]the barns are full of [D]hay
There's [G]a lake of stew and coffee too
[D]You [G]paddle around in a big ca[D]noe
On [A]the big rock candy [D]mountain[G][D][A]
[D]On the big rock candy mountain
You [G]never change your [D]socks
[G]Little streams of [D]soda pop
Come a -drinklin' [A]down the rocks
There ain't no [D]shorthand or shovels
No [G]axes, saws, and [D]picks
So [G]I'm going to stay away, sleep all day,
where they boiled and oiled,
the in[D]ventor of toil,
on [A]the big rock candy [D]mountain.[G][D]
[A][D]
