        C                 One evening as the sun went down
         F                 CAnd the jungle fires were burning,
          CDown the track came a hobo hiking,
        F                     CAnd he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
      F           C           F    CI'm headed for a land that's far away
  C                  GBesides the crystal fountains
     CSo come with me, we'll go and see
     F               CThe Big Rock Candy Mountains

        CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
           F                    CThere's a land that's fair and bright,
            F               CWhere the handouts grow on bushes
                          GAnd you sleep out every night.
            CWhere the boxcars all are empty
         F                CAnd the sun shines every day
         F             CAnd the birds and the bees
          F          CAnd the cigarette trees
     F          CThe lemonade springs
            F        CWhere the bluebird sings
        G               CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

        CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains
         F                CAll the cops have wooden legs
         F                  CAnd the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
                              GAnd the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
      CThe farmers' trees are full of fruit
          F                CAnd the barns are full of hay 
        F       COh I'm bound to go
             F        CWhere there ain't no snow
            F         CWhere the rain don't fall
     F           CThe winds don't blow
        G               CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

        C      In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
      F                 CYou never change your socks
         F                  CAnd the little streams of alcohol
                          GCome trickling down the rocks
      C                        The brakemen have to tip their hats 
          F                 CAnd the railway bulls are blind
           F       CThere's a lake of stew
         F      CAnd of whiskey too
         F          CYou can paddle all around it
      F    CIn a big canoe
        G               CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains

        CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
     F                 CThe jails are made of tin.
     F                  CAnd you can walk right out again,
                   GAs soon as you are in.
       CThere ain't no short-handled shovels,
    F               CNo axes, saws nor picks,
     F        CI'm bound to stay
           F         CWhere you sleep all day,
            F        CWhere they hung the jerk
       F       CThat invented work
        G                CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountains.


  *same chords for whistling*

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