Big Rock Candy Mountain Chords

[Chorus]
C
Oh the buzzing of the bees 

at the cigarette trees
F                   C
Near the soda water fountain
      G7                   
Where the lemonade springs 
        C
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                   
Where the lemonade springs 
        C
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
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh the buzzing of the bees 

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

at the cigarette trees
F                   C
Near the soda water fountain
      G7                   
Where the lemonade springs 
        C
and the bluebird sings
       G7             C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
