Am7
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
D7
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
G7 C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
C/B
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Am7
Rocky didn't like that,
D7
He said I'm gonna get that boy
G7
So one day he walked into town
C Em
And booked himself a room in a local saloon
Sing:
Am7 D7
Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room,
G7 C C/B
Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Am7 D7
Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
G7 C C/B
To shoot off the legs of his rival
Am7 D7
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
G7 C C/B
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Am7 D7
Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil,
G7 C C/B
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Am7 D7
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
G7 C C/B
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Am7 D7
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin,
G7 C/B
He said "Danny boy, this is a showdown."
Am7 D7
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot,
G7 C/B
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.
**Instrumental: Am7 D7 G7 C/B
Am7 D7
Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin,
G7 C Em
And proceeded to lie on the table
Am7 D7
He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"
G7 C Em
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 Em
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 Em
To help with good Rocky's revival.
