Big Rock Candy Mountain

C
On a summer day in the month of May
  G7             C
A burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane
       G7              C
He was looking for his liking
      G7                C
As he strolled along he sang 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]
C
Oh the buzzing of the bees at the cigarette trees
F                   C
Near the soda water fountain
     G7                           C
And the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
       G7             C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Verse]
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
    G7               C
All 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
Their barns are full of hay
I want to go where there ain't no snow

Where the sleet don't fall the winds don't blow
        G7                C
And the bum can sleep all day

[Chorus]
C
Oh the buzzing of the bees at the cigarette trees
F                   C
Near the soda water fountain
     G7                           C
And the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
       G7             C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
