CAPO 1 (or Not)
C G C
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning
C G C
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said, "Boys I'm not turning" I'm
F C F C F C G
headed for a land that's far away besides the crystal fountain So
C G C
come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountain
C F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain There's a land that's fair and bright the
F C F G
handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night Where the
C F C
boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day On the
F C F C F C
birds and the bees the cigarette trees the lemonade springs where the
F C G C
bluebird sings in The Big Rock Candy Mountain
C F C
In The Big Rock Candy Mountain all the cops have wooden legs and the
F C F G
bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs The
C F C
farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay Oh I'm
F C F C F C
bound to go where there ain't no snow where there ain't no fall and the
F C G C
winds don't blow in The Big Rock Candy Mountain
C F C
In The Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks and the
F C F G
little streams of alcohol come a tricklin' down the rocks The
C F C
brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind There's a
F C F C F C
lake of stew and of wiskey too you can paddle all around them in a
F C G C
big canoe in The Big Rock Candy Mountain
C F C
In The Big Rock Candy Mountain the jails are made of tin and
F C F G
you can walk right out again as soon as you are in There
C F C
ain't no short handle shovels no axes saws or picks I'm
F C F C
gonna stay where you sleep all day where they
F C F C
hung the jerk that invented work in The
G C C F C F
Big Rock Candy Mountain .....
C F C F C G C
