Gm                                    
Now somewhere in the black hills of Dakota 
                                    C7             
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
F7                             Bb        
one day his woman ran off with another guy 
                       Gm
hit young Rocky in the eye 
                                           
Rocky didn't like that 
                    C9       C7
he said I'm a gonna get that boy

Now Rocky had come equipped with a gun 
   F7                        Bb
to shoot off the legs of his rival 
    Gm                 C9          C7     
His rival it seems had broken his dreams 
   F7                       Bb
by stealing the girl of his fancy 
    Gm                      C9             C7    
Her name was McGill but she called herself Lil'

but everyone knew her as Nancy 
    Gm                  C9             C7 
Now she and her man who called himself Dan 
     F7                      Bb

    F7                      Bb
and proceeded to lie on the table 
         Gm     
He said Rock you met your match 
            C9              C7
And he said Doc it's only a scratch 
            F7              
And I'll be better
