Big Rock Candy Mountain - Harry Mcclintock | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    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
    F            C           F    C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
  F                 G7
Besides the crystal fount's
   C
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 2]
---------------------
       C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
          F                  C
There's a land that's fair and bright,
          F                C
Where the handouts grow on bushes
                        G7
And you sleep out every night.
          C
Where the boxcars all are empty
        F                   C
And the sun shines every day

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        F             C
And the birds and the bees
        F         C
And the cigarette trees
    F        C
The lemonade springs
          F        C
Where the bluebird sings
       G              C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
        F              C
All the cops have wooden legs
        F                 C
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
                            G7
And the hens lay softboiled eggs
    C
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
        F                    C
And the barns are full of hay

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       F          C
Oh I'm bound to go
            F        C
Where there ain't no snow
          F          C
Where the rain don't fall
    F           C
The winds don't blow
       G              C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Verse 4]
---------------------
   C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
F              C
You never change your socks
    F                     C
And the little streams of alcohol
                        G7
Come trickling down the rocks
    C
The brakemen have to tip their hats
        F                 C
And the railway bulls are blind

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
          F       C
There's a lake of stew
       F          C
And of whiskey too
        F           C
You can paddle all around it
     F        C
In a big canoe
       G              C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 5]
---------------------
       C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
    F               C
The jails are made of tin.
    F                  C
And you can walk right out again,
                   G7
As soon as you are in.
      C
There ain't no shorthandled shovels,
   F              C
No axes, saws nor picks,

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
     F          C
I am gonna' stay
          F         C
Where you sleep all day,
           F            C
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
       G              C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Outro]

C F C F
I'll see you all this coming fall
       G              C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
