Big Rock Candy Mountain Chords

   
CHORUS:
       C
Oh the buzzin’ of the bees and the cigarette trees
    F          C
The soda water fountain
          G7                       C
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
       G7             C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

VERSE 1:
C
On a summer’s day in the month of May
  G7               C
A burly bum come a hikin’
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/burl_ives/big_rock_candy_mountain_crd_ver_2.html ]
Down a shady lane near the sugar cane 
       G7              C
He was lookin’ for his likin’
      G7                C
As he strolled along he sung a song
       G7               C
Of the land of milk and honey

Where a bum can stay for many a day
       G7             C
And he won't need any money

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
    G7               C
The cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
        G7                   C
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
    G7                C
The farmers trees are full of fruit
        G7                C
And the barns are full of hay

I want to go where there ain't no snow

Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow 
        G7             C
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

CHORUS
