Big Rock Candy Mountain - Burl Ives | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
E

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
B7 E        E
    Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     E
On a summer day in the month of May
  B7               E
A burly bum came a hiking
       E
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane
       B7              E
He was looking for his liking
      B7                E                  B7               E
As he strolled along he sang a song of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay for many a day
       B7             E
And he won't need any money

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
        B7 E
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Verse 2]
---------------------
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
    B7               E
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
        B7                  E
And the hens lay softboiled eggs
    B7                 E
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
    B7                   E
The barns are full of hay
I want to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow
            B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
           E
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Outro]
---------------------
        B7 E
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7                 E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
