[C]
In the evening as the sun went down, and the tongue of fire was burning,
down the track came a go-go-go-hacking, and he said,
boys I'm not turning, [Bb] I'm [C] heading for a land [B] that's [C] far away, besides [G] the Bristol Fountains.
[C] So come with me, we'll go and see the [G] big rock [C] candy mountain,
in the big rock candy mountain, [F] there's a land that's [C] fair and bright,
[F] where the hen-doves [C] grow on bushes, and you sleep loud [G] every night,
[C] where the boxcars are all empty, [F] and the sun shines [C] every day,
on the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees, the lemon and sprays,
where the bluebird sings in the big rock candy mountain.
In the big rock candy mountain, [F] all the cops have [C] wooden legs,
[F] all the bulldogs [C] all have rubber teeth, and the hens live [G] so aboardish,
[C] the farmer's trees are full of [F] food, and the barns are [C] full of hay,
oh I'm bound to go where the rain don't fall, where the wind don't blow,
the winds don't [Dm] blow in the big rock [C] candy mountain.
In the big rock candy mountain, [F] you never [C] change your socks,
[F] and little [C] strings of alcohol come trickling [G] down the rocks,
[C] the brakemen have to tip their hats, [F] and the railroad [C] bulls are blind,
there's a lake of stew and a whiskey too, you can paddle around it in a lake unknown,
[Dm] in the big rock [C] candy mountain.
In the big rock candy mountain, [F] the tins are made [C] of tin,
[F] and you can walk [C] right out again [G] as soon as you are [C] in,
there ain't no sod and no soot, [F] no excess [C] salt or taste,
[F] oh I'm [C] gonna stay where you sleep all day, [F] where the hens are sure,
there ain't no rock [G] in the big rock [C] candy [Am]
[F]
mountain.
I see you all, disco [C] may fall, [G] in the big rock [C] candy mountain.
