Am7

    Am7
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota
      D7                                 D D7
There lived a young boy name of Rocky Raccoon
    G7                              C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
                       D D7
Hit young Rocky in the eye...
                           Am7                 D7
Rocky didn't like that, he said, "I'm going to get that boy."
       G7                          G                            C
So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Am7     Am           D7       D
Rocky Racoon checked into his room
G7      G             C
only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7       Am    D7             D 
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
   G7            G           C
to shoot off the legs of his rival.
    Am7       Am         D7         D
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams
   G7           G           C
by stealing the girl of his fancy
    Am7        Am            D7              D
Her name was Magill, and she called herself 'Lil'
    G7       G           C
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

    Am7         Am       D7             D
Now she and her man (who called himself Dan)
     G7          G           C
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Am7         Am      D7         D
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
          G7         G         C
he said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown."

    Am7        Am      D7             D
But Daniel was hot. He drew first and shot
    G7       G             C
and Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Am7  Am    D7   D     G7    G     C  
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da da da da da ...2x

        Am7         Am  D7          D
Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin
    G7           G          C
and proceeded to lie on the table.
          Am7                 Am  
He said, "Rocky, you met your match."
                 D7               D
But Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch.
            G7                              G            C
And I'll be better... I'll be better Doc as soon as I am able."

    Am7      Am            D7          D
Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
G7      G             C
only to find Gideon's Bible.
Am7            Am          D7         D
Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt
   G7             G         C
to help with good Rocky's revival.

Oh yeah, yeah
