>Rocky Raccoon

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

booked himself a room
       A
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
His rival it seems,
B
had broken his dreams,
E                                 A
by stealing the girl of his fancy,
F#m
her name was McGill
B
and she called herself "Lil"
E                               A
but everyone knew her as Nancy.
F#m
She and her man,
B
who called himself Dan

E
were in the next room
              A
at the hoedown
F#m
Rocky burst in,
B
and grinning a grin,
E
he said "Danny boy,
                    A
this is a showdown"
F#m
but Daniel was hot,
B
he drew first and shot
E                                  A
and Rocky collapsed in the corner.
F#m           B
Du-du-du-duuu Du-du-du-duuu
E             A
Du-du-du-duuu...(2x)
F#m                 B
The doctor came in, stinking of gin,

E                              A
proceeded to lie on the table.
F#m
He said "Rocky you met your match"
B
and Rocky said

"Doc it's only a scratch
E
and I'll be better,

doc, I'll be better
           A
as soon as I am able".
F#m
So Rocky Raccoon,
B
he fell back in his room
E                           A
only to find Gideon's Bible
F#m 
Gideon checked out
B
and he left it no doubt

E                             A
to help with good Rocky's revival.
F#m           B
Du-du-du-duuu Du-du-du-duuu
E             A
Du-du-du-duuu...(2x)

our minds will be free
           E
to go to sleep
                  B
And know that if I knew all of
    A       E
the answers I would not
         B
hold them from you'd know all
    A      E
the things that I'd know
       B
we told each other there
    A       F#m
is no other way
A            E  A  F#m  A
Mmm mmm mmmm
