    Am7                                                           D7sus4                D7     G7
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
                                     C         C/B                    Am7
And one day his woman ran off with another guy Hit young Rocky in the eye
                               D7sus4                     D7
Rocky didn't like that He said "I'm gonna get that boy"
        G7                                                   C            C/B
So one day he walked into town Booked himself a room in the local saloon

 Am7                  D7sus4     D7 G7                       C   C/B
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's bible
 Am7             D7sus4          D7     G7                         C    C/B
Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival
     Am7               D7sus4        D7       G7                        C     C/B
His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy
    Am7                    D7sus4         D7      G7                      C   C/B
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy
    Am7                 D7sus4          D7      G7                           C     C/B
Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe down
 Am7               D7sus4        D7         G7                      C       C/B
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin He said "Danny boy this is a showdown"
    Am7                 D7sus4           D7    G7                      C         C/B
But Daniel was hot- he drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner

( Am7  D7sus4  D7  G7  C  C/B ) (2x)

         Am7            D7sus4        D7       G7                     C       C/B
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin And proceeded to lie on the table
         Am7                                 D7sus4                     D7
He said "Rocky you met your match" And Rocky said, "Doc it's only a scratch
            G7                                       C         C/B
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able"
     Am7                  D7sus4         D7 G7                       C     C/B
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's bible
Am7                       D7sus4        D7    G7                           C           C/B
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival
