Gm
Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota

C
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

F
And one day his woman ran off with another guy

A#                      A
Hit young Rocky in the eye

Gm
Rocky didn't like that

        C
He said I'm gonna get that boy

       F
So one day he walked into town

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




Gm            C
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

F                             A#     A
Only to find Gideon's bible

Gm             C
Rocky had come equipped with a gun

F                                  A#     A
To shoot off the legs of his rival

Gm                 C
His rival it seems had broken his dreams


F                                 A#      A
By stealing the girl of his fancy.

Gm                 C
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

F                              A#      A
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Gm                  C
Now she and her man who called himself Dan

F                                    A#     A
Were in the next room at the hoedown

Gm             C
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

F                                    A#     A
He said Danny boy this is a showdown

Gm                 C
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot

F                                  A#     A
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.




Gm                 C
The doctor came in stinking of gin

F                                A#     A
And proceeded to lie on the table

Gm
He said Rocky you met your match

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

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




Gm                C
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

F                           A#    A
Only to find Gideon's bible

Gm                 C
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

F                             A#      A
To help with good Rocky's revival.


Gm C F A# A x2
Du du du dU...
