[B]
[E]
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette [A] trees, the soda [E] water fountain, [B] where the
lemonade [Em] springs and the bluebird sings [B] in that big rock [E] candy mountain.
On a [B] summer's day in the month of May, a burly bum [E] come a-hikin' down a shady lane near the sugar cane.
[B] He was lookin' for [E] his lichen [B] as he strode [E] along, he sung a song of [B] the land of milk
[E] and honey, for a bum can stay for many a day [B] and he won't need any [Bm] money.
[E]
Oh, [B]
the [G] [E]
buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees, [A] the soda [E] water fountain, [B] where the
lemonade springs [Em] and the bluebird sings [B] in that big rock [E] candy mountain.
In the big rock candy mountain, [B] the cops have wooden [E] legs, the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
[B] and the hens lay soft [E]-boiled eggs.
The [B] farmer's trees [E] are full of fruit, [B] the barns are [E] 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.
[Bb] In [B] that big rock [E] candy mountain, oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees, [A] the soda
water [E]
fountain, where [B] the lemonade springs [E] and the bluebird sings [B] in that big rock [E]
candy mountain.
Oh,
[D] [B]
[Gm] the [E]
buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees, [A] the soda [E] water fountain, [B] where the
lemonade springs [E] and the bluebird sings [B] in that big rock [E] candy mountain.
