Rocky Raccoon chords by Lena Horne

Intro: Am7

Spoken
  Am7                                          D7
 Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
                                                                              D7    G7
 There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon     a
                                                                   C
 And one day his woman ran off with another guy
                                        Am
 Hit young Rocky in the eye
  Am7                                              D7
 Rocky didn't like that, he said I'm gonna get that boy
        Dm7 G7
 So one     day he walked into town
          G7                                      C
 And booked himself a room in a local saloon

Verses
  Am7                                D7
 Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room
 G                                 C
 Only to find Gideon's Bible
  Am7                       D7
 Rocky had come, equipped with a gun
      G                                      C
 To shoot off the legs of his rival
        Am7                                          D7
 His rival it seems, had broken his dreams
       G7                                  C
 By stealing the girl of his fancy
      Am7                                                           D7
 Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil
       G7                                   C
 But everyone knew her as Nancy
  Am7                                                          D7
 Now she and her man, who called himself Dan
                                G
 Were in the next room at the hoedown
             G7
 Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
   C
 He said "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
   C/B
 But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
   Am7                                      D7
 And Rocky collapsed in the corner

 Interlude:  Am7 D7 G7 C C/B

  Am7                                             D7
 Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin
    G7                                       C
 And proceeded to lie on the table
   Am7                                           D7
 He said, "Rocky, you met your match"
      G7                                               C
 But Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch
         Am7                                                                  D7
 And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"
       G7                                                                                              C
 Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room only to find Gideons Bible
       Am7                                           D7
 Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
        G7                                     C
