One	evening as the sun went down

And he	said, "Boys, I’m not	turning

	F	C	F	C
I’m	headed for a	land that’s	far	away

The	Big Rock Candy	Mountains

	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

And you sleep out every	night.

	C
Where the	boxcars all are empty

And the	sun shines every	day

And the	cigarette	trees

The	lemonade	springs

Where the	bluebird	sings

In the	Big Rock Candy	Mountains.

In the	Big Rock Candy Mountains

All the	cops have wooden	legs

And the hens lay soft-boiled	eggs

	C
The	farmers’ trees are full of fruit

	F	C
And the	barns are full of	hay

	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.

	C
In the	Big Rock Candy Mountains

	F	C
You	never change your	socks

	F	C
And the	little streams of	alcohol

	G
Come trickling down the	rocks

	C
The	brakemen have to tip their hats

	F	C
And the	railway bulls are	blind

	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

	C
In the	Big Rock Candy Mountains,

	F	C
The	jails are made of	tin.

And	you can walk right	out again,

	G
As soon as you are	in.

	C
There	ain’t no short-handled shovels,

	F	C
No	axes, saws nor	picks,

	F	C
I’m	bound to	stay

	F	C
Where you	sleep all	day,

	F	C
Where they	hung the	jerk

	F	C
That	invented	work

	G	C
In the	Big Rock Candy	Mountains.

*same chords for whistling*

	F	C	F	C
I’ll	see you	all this	coming	fall

	G	C
In the	Big Rock Candy	Mountains
