ROCKY RACOON- The Beatles

Am7 D7

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota

G7

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

C C/B

Hit young Rocky in the Rocky didn't like that

Am7

He said "I'm gonna get that boy"

G7

So one day he walked into town

C C/B

Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Am7 D7

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

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 hoe down

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

Now 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
