{t:Rocky Racoon}

{st:John Lennon and Paul McCartney (1968)}

{c:Spoken:}

[Am7]Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of [D7]Dakota

there lived a young boy named Rocky Rac[G7]coon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

[C]Hit young Rocky in the eye

[C/B]Rocky didn't like that,

[Am7]he said I'm gonna get that boy [D7]

So one d[G7]ay he walked into town

and booked himself a r[C]oom in a local s[C/B]aloon

{c:Sing:}

[Am7]Rocky Raccoon, checked i[D7]nto his room,

o[G7]nly to find Gideon's Bi[C]ble. [C/B]

[Am7]Rocky had come, e[D7]quipped with a gun,

to s[G7]hoot off the legs of his ri[C]val [C/B]

His ri[Am7]val it seems, had b[D7]roken his dreams,

by s[G7]tealing the girl of his fan[C]cy [C/B]

Her n[Am7]ame was McGill, And she c[D7]alled herself Lil,

but e[G7]veryone knew her as N[C]ancy [C/B]

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.

[Am7] [D7] [G7] [C] [C/B]

(instrumental)

Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin, and proceeded to lie on the table

He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"

but 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 Gideons Bible

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

to help with good Rocky's revival.
