Big Rock Candy Mountain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On a summer's day,
[F]in the month of May[C],
[G]A burly bum came a [C]-hikin'
Down a shady lane, neath a sugar cane,
He was lookin' [G]for his [C]lichen
As [G]he strolled [Dm]along, [G]he sung a s[C]ong
Of the [G]land of [Dm]milk and [C]honey
Where a bum can stay for many a day,
And [G]he won't need [C]any money.
Oh, [F]the [G]buzz[C]ing of the bees
In the cigarette trees,
[F]The soda water [C]fountain,
Where the [Dm]lemonade springs,
[G]And the [C]bluebird sings
In the [G]big rock [Em]candy moun[C]tain.
In the big rock candy mountain
The [G]cops have wooden leg[C]s,
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth,
And the [G]hens lay soft [C]-boiled eggs.
The [G]farmer's trees are [C]full of fruit,
The [Dm]barns are [F]full of [C]hay.
I want to go where there ain't no snow,
Where the rain don't fall
and the wind don't blow,
On the [G]big [C]rock candy mountain.
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees
in the cigarette trees,
[F]The soda water [C]fountain
where the [Dm]lemonade [G]springs,
And [C]a bluebird sings
in [G]the big rock candy [C]mountain,
In the [G]big rock candy [C]mountain. [F].[C]
