Introduction:
One [C chordC]evening as the sun went down 
And the jungle fire was burning, 
Down the track came a hobo hikin', 
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning. 
I'm [F chordF]headed for a [C chordC]land that's [F chordF]far a[C chordC]way, 
Be[F chordF]side the crystal [G7 chordG7]fountains, 
So [C chordC]come with me, we'll go and see, 
The Big Rock [G7 chordG7]Candy [C chordC]Mountains."
Verse 1:
"[C chordC]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
There's a [F chordF]land that's fair and [C chordC]bright, 
Where the [F chordF]handouts grow on [C chordC]bushes, 
And you [F chordF]sleep out every [G7 chordG7]night, 
Where the [C chordC]boxcars all are empty, 
And the [F chordF]sun shines every [C chordC]day, 
On the [F chordF]birds and the [C chordC]bees 
And the [F chordF]cigarette [C chordC]trees, 
The [F chordF]lemonade [C chordC]springs 
Where the [F chordF]bluebird [C chordC]sings, 
In the [G7 chordG7]Big Rock Candy [C chordC]Mountains."
Verse 2:
"[C chordC]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
All the [F chordF]cops have wooden [C chordC]legs, 
And the [F chordF]bulldogs all have [C chordC]rubber teeth, 
And the [F chordF]hens lay soft boiled [G7 chordG7]eggs. 
The [C chordC]farmers' trees are full of fruit 
And the [F chordF]barns are full of [C chordC]hay. 
Oh, I'm [F chordF]bound to [C chordC]go 
Where there [F chordF]ain't no [C chordC]snow, 
Where the [F chordF]rain don't [C chordC]fall 
And the [F chordF]wind don't [C chordC]blow, 
In the [G7 chordG7]Big Rock Candy [C chordC]Mountains."
Verse 3:
"[C chordC]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
You [F chordF]never change your [C chordC]socks, 
And the [F chordF]little streams of [C chordC]alcohol 
Come a-[F chordF]tricklin' down the [G7 chordG7]rocks, 
The [C chordC]brakemen have to tip their hats 
And the [F chordF]railroad bulls are [C chordC]blind. 
There's a [F chordF]lake of [C chordC]stew, 
And of [F chordF]whiskey [C chordC]too, 
You can [F chordF]paddle all a[C chordC]round 'em 
In a [F chordF]big ca[C chordC]noe, 
In the [G7 chordG7]Big Rock Candy [C chordC]Mountains."
Verse 4:
"[C chordC]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, 
The [F chordF]jails are made of [C chordC]tin, 
And [F chordF]you can walk right [C chordC]out again, 
As [F chordF]soon as you are [G7 chordG7]in. 
There [C chordC]ain't no short-handled shovels, 
No [F chordF]axes, saws, or [C chordC]picks, 
I'm a-[F chordF]going to [C chordC]stay, 
Where you [F chordF]sleep all [C chordC]day, 
Where they [F chordF]hung the [C chordC]jerk, 
Who in[F chordF]vented [C chordC]work, 
I'll [F chordF]see you [C chordC]all 
This [F chordF]coming [C chordC]fall, 
In the [G7 chordG7]Big Rock Candy [C chordC]Mountains."
