F#m
Somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota
B
there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
E
one day his woman ran off, with another guy
A
and hit young Rocky in the eye
F#m
Rocky didn't like that he said
 B
"I'm gonna get that boy"
       E
so one day he walked into town
                             A
booked himself a room in the local saloon.
F#m           B
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
E                           A
only to find Gideon's Bible

F#m            B
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
E                                  A
to shoot off the legs of his rival.
F#m                 B
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
E                                 A
by stealing the girl of his fancy,
F#m                 B
her name was McGill and she called herself "Lil"
E                               A
but everyone knew her as Nancy.
F#m              B
She and her man, who called himself Dan
E                                    A
were in the next room at the hoedown
F#m             B
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
E                                        A
he said "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
