      Am7
Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota
                                                                 D7
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoona,
G7                                                       C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy.
                                   Am 
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn’t like that
                 D7 
He said I’m gonna get that boy.
    Dm7 G7 
So one day he walked into town
                                              C
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Am                                Am7/D          D7
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
G7                             C
Only to find Gideon’s Bible.

Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival

     Am7                                                  D7
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
    G7                               C
By stealing the girl of his fancy.

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

The doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it’s only a scratch
And I’ll be better I’ll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon’s bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky’s revival.
