G minorGm
Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota

C majorC
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

FF
And one day his woman ran off with another guy

A#A#           A augmentedA
Hit young Rocky in the eye

G minorGm
Rocky didn't like that

    C majorC
He said I'm gonna get that boy

    FF
So one day he walked into town

               A#A#        A augmentedA
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

G minorGm      C majorC
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

FF               A#A#   A augmentedA
Only to find Gideon's bible

G minorGm       C majorC
Rocky had come equipped with a gun

FF                 A#A#   A augmentedA
To shoot off the legs of his rival

G minorGm         C majorC
His rival it seems had broken his dreams


FF                 A#A#   A augmentedA
By stealing the girl of his fancy.

G minorGm         C majorC
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

FF               A#A#   A augmentedA
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

G minorGm         C majorC
Now she and her man who called himself Dan

FF                  A#A#   A augmentedA
Were in the next room at the hoedown

G minorGm       C majorC
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

FF                  A#A#   A augmentedA
He said Danny boy this is a showdown

G minorGm         C majorC
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot

FF                 A#A#   A augmentedA
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

G minorGm         C majorC
The doctor came in stinking of gin

FF                A#A#   A augmentedA
And proceeded to lie on the table

G minorGm
He said Rocky you met your match

C majorC
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch

FF                        A#A#    A augmentedA
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.



G minorGm        C majorC
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

FF              A#A#  A augmentedA
Only to find Gideon's bible

G minorGm         C majorC
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

FF               A#A#   A augmentedA
To help with good Rocky's revival.


G minorGm C majorC FF A#A# A augmentedA x2
Du du du dU...
