Capo 4
[Chorus]
C
Oh the buzzing of the bees at the cigarette trees
F C
Near the soda water fountain
G7 C
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
G7 C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[Verse 1]
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
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
G7 C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[Verse 2]
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 farmer's trees are full of fruit
G7 C
And the barns are full of hay
C
I want to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall the winds don't blow
G7 C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
