Rocky Raccoon chords by Lena Horne

Chords with lyrics

Intro: Am7Am7

Spoken
 Am7Am7                     D7D7
 Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
                                       D7D7  G7G7
 There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon   a
                                  C majorC
 And one day his woman ran off with another guy
                    A minorAm
 Hit young Rocky in the eye
 Am7Am7                       D7D7
 Rocky didn't like that, he said I'm gonna get that boy
    Dm7Dm7 G7G7
 So one   day he walked into town
     G7G7                   C majorC
 And booked himself a room in a local saloon

Verses
 Am7Am7                D7D7
 Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room
 G+G                 C majorC
 Only to find Gideon's Bible
 Am7Am7            D7D7
 Rocky had come, equipped with a gun
   G+G                   C majorC
 To shoot off the legs of his rival
    Am7Am7                     D7D7
 His rival it seems, had broken his dreams
    G7G7                 C majorC
 By stealing the girl of his fancy
   Am7Am7                              D7D7
 Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil
    G7G7                  C majorC
 But everyone knew her as Nancy
 Am7Am7                             D7D7
 Now she and her man, who called himself Dan
                G+G
 Were in the next room at the hoedown
       G7G7
 Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
  C majorC
 He said "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
  C/BC/B
 But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
  Am7Am7                   D7D7
 And Rocky collapsed in the corner

 Interlude: Am7Am7 D7D7 G7G7 C majorC C/BC/B

 Am7Am7                       D7D7
 Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin
  G7G7                    C majorC
 And proceeded to lie on the table
  Am7Am7                      D7D7
 He said, "Rocky, you met your match"
   G7G7                        C majorC
 But Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch
     Am7Am7                                 D7D7
 And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"
    G7G7                                               C majorC
 Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room only to find Gideons Bible
    Am7Am7                      D7D7
 Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
    G7G7                   C majorC
 To help with good Rocky's revival
